Interesting fact
The 1 Penny coin from Jamaica featuring Queen Victoria was part of a series of coins that were introduced in 1869 to replace the previous coinage system based on the Spanish dollar. This coin was made of copper-nickel and had a weight of 9 grams. It was used circulation until 1900, when it was replaced by a new coinage system featuring King Edward VII. Today, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
