Here's another WW2 coin that was struck in one year only - the 1944 Belgian 2 Francs, made of zinc-coated steel and struck in Philadelphia (according to my 2001 Krause catalog) on the same blanks as USA 1943 cents!

In 1947 The Royal Mint struck a 12-sided nickel-brass threepenny coin for Fiji, to the same specifications as the coin that had been circulating in the UK for ten years. The obverse of the coin showed King George VI with the legend 'George VI King Emperor' reflecting the British King's status as Emperor of India. India became an independent republic on August 15, 1947, so further issues of this coin had the obverse legend amended to 'King George the Sixth'.

Talking about India and 1947. The 1/4 and 1/2 rupee were issued in 1946 & 1947, but the 1 rupee was only issued in 1947.
