Comment
Difference between the smaller and larger beading varieties.Interesting fact
The Barbary Macaque featured on the 5 Pence coin from Gibraltar (British Overseas Territories) is actually a species of monkey that is native to the region. It's a unique and interesting choice for a coin design, especially since it's not a typical symbol associated with British currency.
