Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1841-1865 Victoria 1/13 Shilling coin from Jersey is that it was minted during a time when the British Empire was transitioning from the traditional silver standard to the gold standard. This coin, made of copper, was a common circulating coin during that period and features a young Queen Victoria on the obverse side, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with the Jersey crest and the motto "Dieu et mon Droit" (God and my Right). Despite being made of a less valuable metal, the coin's historical significance and rarity make it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
