Comment
Variations in spelling and punctuation exist (for example, double saltire stops obverse)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Groat - Henry VII (Portrait) ND (1496-1505) from Ireland made of Silver weighing 2 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Henry VII, who was the first Tudor king of England and ruled from 1485 until his death in 1509. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign to help stabilize the English economy after the Wars of the Roses. The coin features a portrait of the king on one side and a cross on the other, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
