Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Shilling - George V 1935-1936 coin from New Guinea (Papua New Guinea) is that it was minted during a time of significant change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of King George V, who ruled from 1910 to 1936. During this time, Papua New Guinea was still a colony of Australia, and the coin was used as a form of currency for the local population. However, in 1949, Papua New Guinea gained its independence from Australia, and the coin ceased to be used as legal tender. Today, it is a sought-after collector's item, and its historical significance makes it a valuable addition to any numismatic collection.
