Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1904 Newfoundland 20 Cents coin is that it was the first coin to feature the image of King Edward VII, who was the reigning monarch at the time. This coin was also unique in that it was made of silver, which was a departure from the more commonly used copper or nickel for Canadian coins. Additionally, the coin's weight of 4.7127 grams was unusual for a coin of its denomination, as most coins of similar value were typically lighter.
