Interesting fact
The 2 Pence coin from Guernsey featuring Elizabeth II's 3rd portrait and made of copper-plated steel was the first coin of its denomination to be introduced in the British Isles that was not made of bronze. Instead, it was made of a copper-plated steel, which was a more cost-effective and durable material. This change in material was a significant departure from the traditional bronze coins that had been used for centuries and marked a new era in coin production.
