Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Penny - Edward VII (Arms with vertical shading) 1904-1910 from Jamaica is that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of King Edward VII, who was the son of Queen Victoria and ascended to the throne after her death in 1901. The coin's design was created by the British artist and sculptor, George William De Saulles, and it features a profile of the king with a distinctive mustache and a crown on his head. The coin was minted in copper-nickel and weighs 5.6 grams, making it a substantial coin for its size. Despite its relatively small denomination, the coin is a valuable collector's item today, with some mint-condition specimens selling for hundreds of dollars.
