Interesting fact
The 1 Penny coin from Edward I's reign (1279-1302) was the first coin to feature a portrait of the king, which was a departure from the previous coins that had featured a simple cross or other symbols. This change in design was a significant development in the history of coinage, as it marked the beginning of a new era in which coins would feature images of rulers and other important figures.
