Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Shilling coin from England (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Silver (.917) weighing 6.2 g is that it was issued during the reign of King Philip and Queen Mary (1554-1555). This coin was part of a series of coins issued during their reign, which were designed to stabilize the currency and combat inflation. The coin features an image of the king and queen on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing their commitment to the Christian faith. Despite being issued over 450 years ago, this coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
