Countermark on holed Bolivia 8 Reales, KM#64Interesting fact
The 12 Bits coin from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, minted between 1789 and 1790, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of silver, which was a common material used for coins during that time period. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it was minted during a time when the island was still a British colony, and the use of silver coins was not as widespread as it was in other parts of the world. This coin is a unique example of the island's history and its connection to the British Empire.
