Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Shilling - Philip and Mary ND (1554-1558) coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in England. Philip and Mary were the first co-rulers of England, and their reign saw significant religious and political upheaval, including the Protestant Reformation and the loss of English territories in France. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and its silver content made it a valuable commodity in trade and commerce.
