Interesting fact

The 1 Double 1830 coin from Guernsey was minted during a time when the island was still using a currency system based on the French livre, which was divided into 20 sous, or 360 deniers. The coin's value of 1 Double (or 20 sous) was equivalent to 1/8 of a Guernsey pound, which was the local currency at the time. This coin was made of copper and weighed 2.5 grams, making it a relatively small and lightweight coin. Despite its small size, the coin played an important role in the local economy and was used for everyday transactions on the island.
