Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1841-1861 Victoria 1/26 Shilling coin from Jersey is that it was minted during a time when the British Empire was transitioning from the traditional silver standard to the gold standard. This coin, made of copper, was a common circulating coin during that period and features a young Queen Victoria on the obverse side, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with the letters "JE" (for Jersey) above the shield and the date below. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material, the coin's historical significance and rarity make it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
