Interesting fact

The 2 Annas coin minted in 1841 during the reign of Queen Victoria is notable for its unique design. The coin features a portrait of the young Queen Victoria, with her hair styled in a distinctive curl on her forehead, which was a signature feature of her early coinage. This design was only used for a short period before being replaced by a more mature portrait of the Queen, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
