A old 5 cents coin, written King George the Sixth on the left picture,(front) and written the words "Commissioners of Currency Malaya 1948 (Left)
I was at La boheme, the bakery in jusco AEON that day, with my brother, picking up some french Croissant and Baguette. When we pay, i saw the cashier return the change to my brother hand with this very special coin. We didn't really care since it is just a 5 cents. When we look at it after we leave there, i found out that it has king George face with crown at the front, and the year is 1949, it means it is a coin in Malaya, before our country independent. Very interesting, since i always have the interest on collecting coins and notes from all over the world, no matter it is new or old, it is usable or already an antique.
Note: King George the Sixth, was the father of Queen Elizabeth II
