Interesting fact
The Pattern ½ Penny - James Stanley (Pattern) 1723 from Isle of Man (British Crown dependencies) made of Bronze is a rare and unique coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was created as a pattern coin, meaning it was struck as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design, but it was never officially released into circulation. This makes it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians.
