Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Penny - Edward III (4th coinage; Treaty period) ND (1361-1369) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in England. The coin was issued during the reign of King Edward III, who ruled from 1327 to 1377, and was part of a series of coins minted during the Treaty period, which was a time of relative peace and stability in England after a period of civil war. The coin's silver content and unique design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
