Interesting fact

The 1 Penny coin from Jamaica, featuring King Edward VII, was part of a series of coins issued during his reign (1901-1910) to replace the previous coinage that had been minted under Queen Victoria. This particular design, with horizontal shading on the arms, was unique to Jamaica and was only produced for a few years, making it a relatively rare and interesting collector's item.
