Interesting fact
The 1983 Jamaican 25 Cents (Independence) coin features a unique design that commemorates Jamaica's independence from British colonial rule, which was achieved on August 6, 1962. The coin's reverse side depicts a stylized image of a Jamaican national hero, Marcus Garvey, who played a significant role in the country's struggle for independence. Garvey is shown standing proudly with his right hand raised in a gesture of triumph, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, who was still the head of state of Jamaica at the time the coin was minted. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, and its unique design makes it a fascinating piece of Jamaican history.
