Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Cent George V 1916 coin from Straits Settlements (British Malaysia) is that it was minted during a time when the Straits Settlements were still a British colony, and it features a unique blend of Eastern and Western design elements. The coin's obverse features a portrait of King George V, while the reverse features a traditional Malay kris, or dagger, surrounded by Malayan floral motifs. This blend of cultures reflects the diverse history and heritage of the region, which has been shaped by both British colonialism and local Malay traditions.
