Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Penny - William I (Phase A) ND (1195-1205) from Scotland (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Silver is that it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The coin bears the image of King William I, also known as William the Lion, on its obverse side, while the reverse side features a cross fleury, which is a type of cross with fleur-de-lis at the ends. This design was used during the reign of William I, who ruled Scotland from 1165 to 1214, and it has become a distinctive feature of Scottish coins from that period.
