Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sovereign - Elizabeth I (6th issue) ND (1583-1595) coin 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 bead) enclosed within a ring. It was used to indicate that the coin was struck at the Tower Mint in London, and it is a distinctive feature that helps to identify the coin's origin and authenticity.
