Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Hiberno-Norse Kingdom of Dublin's 1 Penny coin is that it features a unique blend of Viking and Celtic influences in its design. The coin's obverse (front) side bears a Viking-style image of a warrior king holding a sword and shield, while the reverse (back) side features a Celtic-style cross with intricate knotwork patterns. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the Hiberno-Norse Kingdom of Dublin, which was founded by Viking invaders who eventually adopted elements of Celtic culture and Christianity.
