Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during World War II, specifically in 1944 and 1945, and was part of the "emergency coinage" issued by the British government to address the shortage of coins during the war. The coin's unique composition, which includes silver, copper, nickel, and zinc, was a result of the wartime restrictions on the use of certain metals.
