Interesting fact
The 1 Cent (Independence) 1982 coin from Trinidad and Tobago features a unique design that commemorates the country's independence from British colonial rule, which was achieved on August 31, 1962. The coin's design includes an image of a national hero, Sir Eric Williams, who played a significant role in Trinidad and Tobago's struggle for independence. The coin's bronze composition and relatively low weight of 1.95 grams also make it stand out from other coins.
