Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Farthing coin from Jamaica is that it was the first coin to feature a portrait of Queen Victoria with a crown on her head. This was a departure from previous coins that showed her with a simple headband. This design change was a nod to Jamaica's status as a British colony and a reflection of the island's loyalty to the British monarchy.
