Interesting fact
The A Token ½ Penny (George Rules - British Tars) 1771 coin from the United Kingdom features a unique design element - a sailor on the obverse (front side), which was a departure from the traditional depiction of royalty or other high-ranking officials on coins. This design choice was made to honor the contributions of the British Navy, which was a significant symbol of the country's power and influence at the time.
