One interesting fact about the 1 Penny - Henry IV (Light coinage; York) ND (1412-1413) coin is that it was made of silver, which was a rare and valuable metal at the time. This coin was part of a special issue of coins known as the "Light coinage" or "York" issue, which was minted in York during the reign of King Henry IV. The use of silver in these coins was a departure from the usual copper or bronze used in other coins of the time, and it reflects the wealth and power of the English monarchy during this period.
