The 2 Bits ND (1814) coin from Grenada was minted during a time when the island was under British rule, and it features a unique design that reflects the island's history and culture. The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of King George III, while the reverse side features a depiction of a sugar cane plant, which was a major crop in Grenada at the time. The coin's silver content and unique design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of the Caribbean region.
