Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Penny - Henry III (Dublin) ND (1251-1254) from Ireland made of Silver weighing 1.4 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Henry III of England, who also ruled Ireland at the time. This coin was part of a series of coins minted in Dublin, Ireland, and features the king's name and title in Latin on one side, and a cross on the other. Despite being made of silver, the coin is relatively small and lightweight, weighing only 1.4 grams. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, and its historical significance makes it an interesting piece of Irish numismatic history.
