Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Penny - Stephen (Cross pommée ('Awbridge') type) ND (1154-1158) from England (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of King Stephen, who ruled England from 1135 to 1154. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, known as the "Cross pommée" type, which featured a cross with pellets (or "pommées") at the ends of the arms. The use of silver in the coin's composition was also significant, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was often used in coinage during this time period.
