Interesting fact

The A Token 2 Quartos (Robert Keeling) 1802 from Gibraltar (British Overseas Territories) made of Copper is a rare and valuable coin. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Napoleonic Wars, specifically in 1802, when Gibraltar was under British rule. The coin was used as a substitute for the official British currency, which was in short supply at the time, and it features a unique design that reflects the history and culture of Gibraltar.
