Comment
Krause catalogs 2005 list 1914 H and 1914 no mint mark. Krause catalogs 2008 and more recent list 1914 S instead of 1914 no mint mark but no pictures of such a coin are available.Interesting fact
The 1 Cent coin from East Africa featuring George V was minted during a time of great change in the region. The coin was introduced in 1911, just a few years after the British East Africa Company had been dissolved and the territory had become a British colony. The coin was used throughout East Africa, including present-day Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Despite the coin's small denomination, it played an important role in the local economy and was widely used in everyday transactions.
