Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sovereign - Edward VI (2nd period) ND (1549-1550) coin is that it features a unique design element known as a "mullet" - a small, crescent-shaped cut in the die that was used to create a distinctive "flared" effect on the coin's edges. This feature was used on many coins of the time to prevent counterfeiting and to make the coins more easily identifiable as authentic.
