Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1937-1947 Jersey 1/24 Shilling George VI coin is that it was minted during World War II, when Jersey was occupied by German forces. Despite the occupation, the coin's design and production remained largely unchanged, with the exception of a small " Jersey" mintmark added to the reverse side. This coin is a unique piece of history that serves as a reminder of the island's resilience and determination during a time of great turmoil.
