Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Cents - Victoria 1865-1900 coin from Newfoundland is that it was the first coin to feature the image of Queen Victoria, who was the reigning monarch at the time of its minting. 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 coinage during that era. Additionally, the coin's weight of 4.71 grams was unusual for a coin of its denomination, as most coins of similar value were typically lighter in weight.
