Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Cent 1810 coin from Penang (British East Indies) is that it features a unique blend of Eastern and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a British monarch, King George III, while the reverse side features a traditional Malay kris, a symbol of the region's cultural heritage. This blending of styles reflects the multicultural nature of Penang, which was a British colony at the time and had a diverse population of Malays, Chinese, and Indians.
