Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1919 George V 20 Cents coin from Straits Settlements (British Malaysia) is that it was minted during a time of great change in the region. The Straits Settlements were a British colony in Southeast Asia, and in 1919, they were in the process of transitioning from a British colony to a British protectorate. This coin was minted during this time of transition, making it a unique piece of history.
