Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Cents - Victoria 1865-1896 coin from Newfoundland is that it was the first coin to feature the image of Queen Victoria, who was the reigning monarch at the time of its production. This coin was also unique in that it was made of silver, which was a departure from the more commonly used copper or nickel in coin production. Additionally, the coin's weight of 2.36 grams was unusual for a coin of its denomination, as most coins of similar value were typically lighter.
