The official coinage of Jamaica begins with issues of copper-nickel farthings, half pennies and pennies during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). In 1937, with the accession of George VI, the composition was changed to nickel brass and issued in this manner until the end of sterling coinage in 1967. This particular type was struck 1938-47 and is common.
Recorded mintage: 480,000.
Specification: 2.75 g, nickel brass, 20.25 mm diameter, plain edge, designed by Percy Metcalfe.
Catalog reference: KM 30.
