Comment
Differs from KM#21 by the shape of crownInteresting fact
The 10 Cents coin from Hong Kong (China) made of Nickel weighing 4.5 g, featuring George VI, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great turmoil, just before the outbreak of World War II. Despite the geopolitical tensions and the coin's relatively small denomination, it has become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
