Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Cent ND (1800) coin from Penang (British East Indies) made of Tin is that it was one of the first coins to be issued by the British East India Company in the Malay Peninsula. The coin was minted in 1800 and was used as a form of currency in the British colonies in Southeast Asia. The use of tin as the material for the coin was a common practice during that time period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal. Today, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, and it is a fascinating piece of history for numismatists and history enthusiasts alike.
