Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Penny - William I (Bonnet type) ND (1068-1070) from England (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Silver weighing 1.3 g is that it was minted during the reign of William I, also known as William the Conqueror, who was the first Norman king of England and ruled from 1066 until his death in 1087. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign that featured a portrait of the king on the obverse (front) side, and a cross on the reverse (back) side. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable metal at the time, and it weighed 1.3 grams, which was a standard weight for coins of its denomination. Despite being minted over 900 years ago, some of these coins still exist today and are highly sought after by collectors and historians.
