Comment
On the 1942I variety the I is on the obverse under CENTInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Cent - George VI 1942 from East Africa is that it was minted during World War II, specifically in 1942, when many countries, including East Africa, were under British rule. This coin features King George VI on one side and a crowned effigy of the king on the other, surrounded by the inscription "GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX" (George VI, by the grace of God, king of Britain, etc.). Despite being made of bronze, this coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage.
