Interesting fact
The Pattern 1⁄50 Dollar - George IV (Pattern) 1823 from British West Indies, made of Copper weighing 18.73 g, is a rare and unique coin that was never put into circulation. It was created as a pattern coin, which means it was produced as a trial or sample coin, and only a limited number were minted. This coin is particularly interesting because it features a design that was not ultimately used for the regular issue coins, making it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
