Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was countermarked with the letters "ND" (which stand for "Nova Dominia," meaning "New Domain" in Latin) to indicate that it was issued by the British government after they took control of Grenada from the French in 1814. This coin was part of a series of coins issued by the British during their occupation of Grenada, which lasted from 1814 to 1974.
