Interesting fact
The ½ Penny coin from the Isle of Man, minted during Queen Victoria's reign (1839-1860), is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was widely used in coinage during that time period. However, it's worth noting that the use of copper in coins was gradually phased out in the late 19th century due to the rising cost of copper and the introduction of alternative metals like bronze. This coin is a piece of history that showcases the evolution of coinage and the materials used in its production.
