Comment
The standard weight of these coins was 81 grains.Interesting fact
The 1 Quart coin from Gibraltar featuring Queen Victoria (1841-1861) is a unique coin in the sense that it was minted with a copper material, which was a departure from the traditional silver or gold used in minting coins during that time period. This was likely done to address the need for a more affordable and accessible currency for everyday transactions, as copper was a less expensive metal than silver or gold. Despite being made of a less valuable metal, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in circulation during its time.
