Comment
Issuer: Sommer Islands CompanyInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Pence ND (1616) coin from Bermuda is that it features a unique design, with a portrait of King James I on one side and a depiction of a ship on the other. This ship is believed to be the Sea Venture, which was a British ship that was shipwrecked off the coast of Bermuda in 1609. The coin's design was likely meant to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the shipwreck.
