Interesting fact

The Small Indian mongoose coin from Jamaica is a unique and interesting coin because it features a lesser-known animal species on its design. The Small Indian mongoose is a mammal native to South Asia and Southeast Asia, and it is not commonly featured on currency. The fact that it was chosen as the design for this coin makes it stand out and highlights Jamaica's interest in showcasing diverse and fascinating species on its currency.
