Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Penny - Henry I (Facing Bust/Cross Fleurée type) ND (1117) from England (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Silver weighing 1.37 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Henry I, who ruled England from 1100 to 1135. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which featured a facing bust of the king on one side and a cross fleurée on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a significant change from previous coins, which were made of copper or other base metals. This change in material was likely due to the increased availability of silver in England during this time period.
