Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Cent coin from Penang (British East Indies) made of Copper weighing 9.66g is a rare and valuable coin among collectors. It was minted in 1810 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential new coin design. This coin features a unique design, with a crowned shield on the obverse (front) side and a Malayan tiger on the reverse (back) side. The coin's rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
