A scroll below bears the motto OUT OF MANY ONE PEOPLE. The legend JAMAICA arcs across the top of the field, with the commemorative dates 1869 and 1969 flanking the shield at left and right respectively, and ONE PENNY curves along the lower periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Jamaica decimalized its currency on September 8, 1969, abandoning the old pounds-shillings-pence system that had tied the island's coinage to British convention since the colonial period. This penny was part of that first decimal issue, though the denomination itself was retained in name — a deliberate concession to familiarity during the transition. The nickel brass alloy chosen distinguished the new coinage visually from the preceding bronze series.
