Interesting fact
The 5 Cents - George V 1920 coin from East Africa made of Copper-nickel weighing 6.48 g is interesting because it was minted during a time when East Africa was still a British colony, and the coin features an image of King George V, who was the reigning monarch of the British Empire at the time.
