Interesting fact
The 1 Penny coin of Edward II (class 11a) was issued during a time of great economic change in England. The coinage reform of 1310, which introduced this coin, was an attempt to stabilize the currency and combat inflation. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant change from previous coins, which were made of copper or other base metals. This change in material was a result of the increasing availability of silver in Europe and the desire to create a coin that was both valuable and durable.
