Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1920 George V 25 Cents coin from East Africa is that it was minted during a time of great change in the region. The early 1920s saw the transition from German colonial rule to British colonial rule in many parts of East Africa, and this coin was minted during this period of transition. Additionally, the coin's silver content and unique design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
