Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1841-1861 Victoria Shilling coin from Jersey is that it was minted during a time when the island was still using the old Currency Act of 1834, which allowed for the circulation of British coins in Jersey. This means that the coin was minted alongside other British coins that were also circulating in Jersey at the time, creating a unique blend of British and Jersey currency in circulation on the island.
