Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Florin - George V 1920-1921 from East Africa is that it was minted during a time of great change in the region. The early 1920s saw the transition from German colonial rule to British colonial rule in East Africa, and this coin was minted during this period of transition. Additionally, the coin features a unique design, with the image of King George V on one side and a depiction of a lion on the other, which was a symbol of strength and power in the region.
