Interesting fact
The 1 Cent (Independence) 1983 coin from Jamaica is unique in that it was minted to commemorate the country's independence from British colonial rule, which was achieved on August 6, 1962. The coin's design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of a Jamaican national hero, Marcus Garvey, on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, especially since it was produced in limited quantities and is no longer in circulation.
