Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - the bust of Henry I facing towards the left, which was a departure from the traditional right-facing busts seen on most coins of that time. This design choice was likely made to distinguish the coin from other coins issued by Henry I, and it adds a touch of individuality to the coin.
