Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1866-1871 Victoria 1/13 Shilling coin from Jersey is that it was minted during a time when the island was still using a currency system based on the French livre, rather than the British pound. This coin was equivalent to 1/13 of a shilling, which was a fractional denomination of the French livre. Despite being minted during this time, the coin still features the image of Queen Victoria, reflecting Jersey's ties to the British monarchy.
