Interesting fact

The 12 Dogs coin from Montserrat is a unique and interesting coin because it features a dozen dogs on its reverse side, each representing a different breed. This design was chosen to commemorate the island's history of dog breeding and its reputation for producing high-quality dogs. The use of dogs on the coin also symbolizes loyalty, courage, and protection, which are all values that are highly valued in Montserrat's culture. Additionally, the fact that the coin is made of silver adds to its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
