In Jamaica he agitated against colonialism and was a labor activist. Eventually he became the first prime minister of Jamaica.
    The rear of the coin shows the Jamaican coat-of-arms, featuring a crocodile atop a shield of pineapples, flanked by a West Indian Native Woman and Man.

    Shipping:
    Coins shipped via standard envelope are shipped first class in envelopes with tracking. Generally, coins shipped for .99c are standard envelope. The coins are packaged between two pieces of cardboard, or card stock paper. I have found this to be a very safe way to ship coins for several years and have not had any issues yet, though it is always possible something can go wrong. In the event anything goes wrong, the coins are covered by Ebay protection.
