Comment
Issuer: Sommer Islands CompanyInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Pence ND (1616) coin from Bermuda is that it features a unique design that reflects the island's history and culture. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a ship, which represents the island's maritime history and its importance as a port for transatlantic trade. The reverse side features a depiction of a Bermudian cedar tree, which is a native species to the island and has been used for centuries in the construction of ships and buildings. The coin's design serves as a reminder of Bermuda's rich history and its connection to the sea.
