Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Edward I, also known as Edward Longshanks, who ruled England from 1272 to 1307. He was a powerful and influential king who expanded English territory through military conquests and established a centralized government. The coin's design, featuring the king's crowned bust on one side and a cross on the other, reflects the monarch's authority and the influence of Christianity during that time.
