Interesting fact
The 1 Penny coin from Edward I's reign (1280) was part of a larger currency reform that introduced a new standardized system of coinage across England. This reform, known as the "Sterling" system, established a set of standardized coin denominations and compositions that would be used for centuries to come. The 1 Penny coin was one of the smallest denominations in this system and was made of silver, which gave it a high level of durability and value. Despite being over 700 years old, some of these coins still exist today and are highly sought after by collectors.
