Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Penny - Edward I (Second coinage, Class I, Dublin) ND (1279-1284) from Ireland is that it features a unique design, with a crowned bust of King Edward I on the obverse (front) side, and a long cross with three pelicans on the reverse (back) side. The pelicans are a symbol of charity and are believed to represent the king's generosity and concern for his subjects. This design was specifically chosen to promote the king's image as a strong and benevolent ruler, and it has become a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
