Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Penny - John (Third "REX" coinage; Dublin) ND (1207-1211) from Ireland is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the traditional Irish harp, this coin bears a image of a crowned lion passant, which was a symbol of the English monarchy during the time of King John's reign. This design was only used on coins minted in Dublin during this specific period, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
