Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Penny - Henry V (York mint; Class G) ND (1413-1422) from England (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Silver weighing 0.45 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Henry V, who was known for his military campaigns in France during the Hundred Years' War. This coin was minted at the York mint, which was one of the major mints in England during the Middle Ages. The Class G designation refers to the specific design of the coin, which features a crowned bust of King Henry V on the obverse (front) side, and a long cross with three pelicans on the reverse (back) side. The coin was minted between 1413 and 1422, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today.
