Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern ½ Cent - Victoria (Trial Strike) 1891 from Straits Settlements (British Malaysia) is that it was minted with a unique blunder. The coin was intended to feature the image of Queen Victoria, but due to a mistake during the minting process, the coin actually features a portrait of Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert. This error makes the coin highly sought after by collectors and numismatists.
