Interesting fact
The 10 Cents coin from Sri Lanka, also known as Ceylon, featuring George VI and minted in 1941, is unique in that it was made of silver (.800) and weighs 1.1664 grams. This is interesting because most coins of this denomination and era were made of a copper-nickel alloy or other base metals, and very few were made of silver. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in 1941 during World War II makes it a rare and valuable collector's item.
