Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1939 Malaya (Malaysia) 20 Cents coin made of Silver (.750) weighing 5.43g is that it was minted during the reign of King George VI, who was the King of the United Kingdom from 1936 until his death in 1952. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, and it features his image on one side and the Malayan coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition adds to its value and rarity, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
