Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Cent Victoria coin from Straits Settlements (British Malaysia) is that it was designed by George William De Saulles, a British engraver and artist who was known for his work on various coins and medals. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Queen Victoria, while the reverse features a Malayan village scene with a palm tree and a boat in the background. The coin's design was meant to reflect the cultural and economic ties between the Straits Settlements and the British Empire.
