Comment
Very rare, the ship carrying majority of the mintage was sunk in December 1941- early 1942 by the Japanese during WWII; many re-strikes and copies.Interesting fact
The 1 Cent - George VI 1941 coin from Hong Kong (China) is interesting because it was minted during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong during World War II. Despite the occupation, the coin still features the image of King George VI, indicating that the colony's allegiance remained with the British crown. This coin is a unique piece of history that highlights the complex political dynamics of the time.
