Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1950-1952 Jamaican 1 Penny coin is that it features a unique design element - a portrait of King George VI without the title "King and Emperor." This was a deliberate decision made by the Jamaican government to distance itself from the British colonial legacy and assert its independence. The coin's design was created by sculptor and medallist, Edgar Bertram MacKennal, and it is a distinct departure from the traditional depiction of British monarchs on coins.
