Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the discovery of the island of St. Helena by the Portuguese explorer João da Nova in 1502. The coin's design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the ship that da Nova used for his voyage, the "São João Bautista," on the other. The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
