Interesting fact
The A Pattern ½ Ackey - George III (Trial Strike) 1796 from Ghana › Gold Coast (1821-1957) made of Copper weighing 7.775 g is a rare and unique coin that was minted as a trial strike, meaning it was not intended for circulation and was produced in limited quantities for testing purposes. This coin is particularly interesting because it features a design that was not ultimately used on any circulating coins, making it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
