Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Cents - George V 1926-1935 from Straits Settlements (British Malaysia) coin is that it was made of silver, which was a common material used for coinage in the early 20th century. The use of silver in coins was eventually phased out in many countries, including Malaysia, due to the rising cost of silver and the introduction of more durable and cost-effective materials like cupro-nickel. As a result, coins like this one have become a unique piece of history and a sought-after collector's item.
