| Additional information |
Jamaica's copper-nickel penny series under George V replaced an earlier bronze issue, part of a broader Colonial Office push to standardize coinage across British Caribbean territories. The timing of the 1914 opening date is worth noting — wartime metal demands almost immediately complicated procurement for colonial mints, and the Royal Mint managed Caribbean colonial contracts alongside severe domestic pressures throughout the war years.
KM#26 ran for well over a decade with minimal design intervention, making date runs relatively straightforward — though 1916 and 1917 saw reduced outputs tied directly to wartime mint prioritization.
