Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Shilling - Elizabeth I (Third Coinage) ND (1601-1602) coin from Ireland is that it features a unique design element known as a "pellet-in-ring" mintmark. This mintmark, which appears on the reverse side of the coin, is a small pellet (or dot) surrounded by a ring. It was used to indicate that the coin was minted at the Dublin Mint in Ireland, and it is a distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the same era.
