Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 50 Para coin from the Ionian Islands is that it was minted during a brief period of time when the islands were a British protectorate, and it features a unique design that reflects this history. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of King George III, while the reverse side features a depiction of a merchant ship, which represents the islands' strong maritime tradition. The coin's silver content and relatively low weight also make it a notable collector's item.
