A spectacular piece from the age of Queen Victoria, The 1901 10 cent from the straits settlements, 1901 was the very last year that Queen Victoria straits settlements coinage was produced, it has a mintage of 2,700,000 all being made out of 0.800 silver, it has a diameter of 18mm with a thickness of 1.35mm, it weighs 2.71 grams and it had a reeded edge, it was also engraved by Leonard Charles Wyon. After 1901, straits settlements featured King Edward VII, which later changed again in 1918 to King George V.This piece is still in exquisite condition, it has cartwheel luster on both the obverse and the reverse, it also has blue-greyish speckled toning on both the obverse and the reverse, it only has one tiny gouge on the obverse between the 1 and the 0. it is one of the best pieces in existence. I am extremely happy to have this unique piece in my collection, thank you!
