Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Rose-ryal coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic change in England. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system implemented by King James I in 1603, which aimed to stabilize the country's economy and combat inflation. The Rose-ryal was equivalent to 10 shillings, and its introduction marked the beginning of a new era in English coinage, with a focus on gold and silver coins. Despite its value, the coin was not widely used and was eventually phased out in favor of other denominations. Today, it is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of pounds at auction.
