Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Farthing coin from Jamaica featuring Edward VII (Arms with vertical shading) is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the country. The coin was issued between 1904 and 1910, a period that saw the rise of the labor movement and the fight for workers' rights in Jamaica. The coin's mintage also coincided with the country's transition from a primarily agricultural economy to a more industrialized one, with the establishment of new industries such as sugar refining and manufacturing. Despite these changes, the coin remained a symbol of the country's colonial ties to Britain, featuring the image of King Edward VII on its obverse side.
