Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Penny - Edward II (class 14) ND (1317-1319) coin from England is that it was made of silver, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. However, it's worth noting that the use of silver in coinage was gradually phased out in the 14th century, and this coin was likely one of the last silver coins to be produced before the switch to other metals.
