Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1962 Elizabeth II 1 Cent coin from Malaya and British Borneo is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a traditional Malayan village scene, complete with rice paddies, a village hut, and a coconut tree. This design was created by the British artist and engraver, George Kruger Gray, and it was used on several other coins issued by Malaya and British Borneo during this time period. The coin's bronze composition and 1.94g weight also make it stand out from other coins issued by the British Empire during this time.
