Interesting fact
The 8 Doubles coin from Guernsey, made of copper and weighing 20g, was used as a form of currency in the island of Guernsey during the 19th century. It was first introduced in 1834 and was in circulation until 1858. The coin was designed with a unique double-sided layout, featuring a crowned effigy of King William IV on one side and a shield with the Guernsey coat of arms on the other. This distinctive design made it easily recognizable and helped to prevent counterfeiting. Despite its relatively short time in circulation, the 8 Doubles coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
