Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Edward VI, who was only 15 years old at the time. This makes it a unique piece of history, as it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in England, with the young king trying to assert his authority while facing opposition from powerful nobles and religious leaders. Additionally, the coin's silver content and weight make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in rare and historical coins.
