Interesting fact
The 1983 Jamaican Independence $1 coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side, which is unusual because Jamaica gained its independence from the United Kingdom in 1962. The coin was issued to commemorate the 21st anniversary of Jamaica's independence, and it is one of the few coins that feature the Queen's image after Jamaica's independence.
