Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Edward I of England, also known as Edward Longshanks, who was a powerful and influential king who ruled England from 1272 until his death in 1307. He was known for his military campaigns, particularly against Scotland and Wales, and for his efforts to strengthen the English monarchy. The fact that this coin was issued during his reign suggests that it was likely used to finance some of his military campaigns or other projects.
