Comment
Issuer: Sommer Islands CompanyInteresting fact
The 12 Pence ND (1616) coin from Bermuda is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. It is believed that the coin was minted in small quantities as a trial piece, and most of them were likely melted down for their metal content. As a result, the coin is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch high prices at auction. In fact, one example of the coin sold for over $100,000 at a 2019 auction!
