Interesting fact

The 1-½ Pence (Black Dog) coin from Saint Kitts (Saint Kitts and Nevis) made of Billon is interesting because it features a unique design element - a black dog on the obverse side, which is where the coin gets its name. This design was used on several coins issued by the British West Indies during this time period, but the Black Dog coin from Saint Kitts is particularly notable for its rarity and historical significance. It's a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians, and its value can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on its condition and provenance.
