Sierra Leone, Edward VIII Cupro-nickel

Straits Settlements was a British enclave which is now Malaysia, Singapore, Borneo and other areas. They issued coins from Queen Victoria to George VI. The coin on offer here is the 1927 Silver 10 Cent. These coins are middle sized, valuable enough to be saved. You have the portrait of King George V on one side and the value on the other side. They are struck in silver and are in Fine condition. Not easy to find…

This Ceylon Edward VIII piece is one of the more difficult to get in cupro-nickel. We know this better than anyone else, because Richard had them struck. We found it the other day in a storeroom, supplies are limited and all are Uncirculated.
