Interesting fact
The 1 Black Dog (Type II) ND (1797-1818) coin from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines made of Billon is interesting because it features a unique design element - a black dog on one side and a crowned shield on the other. This design was used during the British colonial period and signifies the island's history and cultural heritage. Additionally, the use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this time period for coinage in the British West Indies.
