Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Cents - George V 1921-1936 coin from East Africa is that it was minted during a time of great change in the region. The coin was introduced in 1921, just a few years after the end of World War I, and was minted until 1936, the year that George V died. During this time, East Africa was under British colonial rule, and the coin was used as a symbol of the British Empire's influence in the region. Despite the coin's connection to colonialism, it remains a popular collector's item today, with many people interested in its history and the stories it tells about the past.
