Lot description:

MALAYA. 10 Cents, 1945-I. Bombay Mint. PCGS EF-45 Gold Shield.

KM-4a; Tan-MAC6; Prid-9a; Boon-KN6f (plate coin). EXTREMELY RARE. A seldom seen issue from the closing days of World War II. Struck with the letter "I" below the denomination to denote being minted at one of the Indian Government mints, in this case the mint in Bombay. Prior to the close of the war with Japan, the British government had laid plans for a smooth transition from military governance back to local government control as a protectorate.
