Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Laurel - James I (3rd coinage) ND (1619-1621) from England (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Gold (.917) weighing 9 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in England. King James I, who ruled from 1567 to 1625, was the first English monarch to issue a gold coinage, and this coin was part of that series. The coin's design features a laurel wreath surrounding the king's portrait, symbolizing his power and wisdom. Despite its age, this coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
