The 12 Bits coin from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, made of silver, is an interesting piece because it was used as a form of currency during a time when the country was still a British colony. The coin's design features the image of King George III, who ruled England at the time, and the inscription "12 Bits" on one side, indicating its value. On the other side, the coin features the image of a sailing ship, symbolizing the country's strong maritime history and trade industry.
