Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Penny - Richard I (Short Cross type; class 2) ND (1189-1199) coin from England is that it features a unique design element known as a "short cross" on the reverse side. This design element is characterized by a shorter cross than usual, with the arms of the cross extending only slightly beyond the circle that surrounds the coin's central hole. This feature distinguishes the Short Cross type from other coinage of the same period, and it has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
