Sales History

?

One cent pieces were struck in 1919, 1920 and 1926 during the reign of King George V but diverted from the traditional round design used since 1845 to implement a new square planchet which would continue right into the British Malaya period.The reverse design features a partitioned ring design with 1 CENT in the inner circle with the legend, STRAITS SETTLEMENTS with the date written below while the obverse features the Mackennal effigy of King George V and the legend, GEORGE V KING AND EMPEROR OF INDIA.All three years are readily available with examples with full brilliance turning up from time to time though acquiring a 1926 cent in such a state can be quite a challenge.
