Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Ackey - George III (Mule) ND (1796) coin is that it was minted in France, but was intended for use in Ghana, specifically the Gold Coast (now known as Ghana) during the period of British rule from 1821 to 1957. This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a few known examples remaining in existence.
