One interesting fact about the 1 Penny - Henry VI (1st reign; Rosette-mascle issue) ND (1430-1431) coin is that it features a unique design element known as a "rosette-mascle" which is a small rose-like motif that appears on the coin's reverse side, surrounded by a mascle, or a small, circular indentation. This design element was used during Henry VI's first reign and is considered a distinctive feature of coins from this period.
