Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1981 Jersey 2 Pence coin is that it features a unique design on its reverse side, which showcases a representation of the island's coat of arms, featuring three lions passant and a shield with the motto "Never Forget" in French. This design was specifically created for the coin to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Victor Hugo, who was a famous French writer and poet who lived in exile on the island of Jersey.
