Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Penny - Mary Tudor ND (1553-1554) from Ireland made of Silver (.583) is that it was minted during the reign of Queen Mary I, also known as Mary Tudor or Bloody Mary, who was the daughter of King Henry VIII and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Mary I was a devout Catholic and tried to restore Catholicism in England and Ireland, which led to the persecution of Protestants and earned her the nickname "Bloody Mary." This coin was minted during her reign, which lasted from 1553 to 1558, and it features an image of the Queen on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing her strong religious beliefs.
