Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Shilling - Edward VI (Pattern) 1547 from England is that it was designed by Thomas Wyon, who was a renowned engraver and designer at the Royal Mint during the 16th century. Wyon's design for the coin featured a portrait of King Edward VI, who was only nine years old at the time the coin was minted. This makes the coin a unique piece of numismatic history, as it depicts a young monarch who would go on to play a significant role in shaping the course of English history.
