One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Penny - Henry I (Voided Cross and Fleurs type) ND (1106) from England (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Silver weighing 1.28 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Henry I, who ruled England from 1100 to 1135.
