Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 04/29/2015 06:21 am I don't much about Straits Settlements proofs but to me it looks like an ordinary circulation coin. It looks like a recut of the 0. It looks like there is a small die crack across the crown. Report this Post to the Staff

bungle Valued Member Japan 349 Posts	Posted 05/01/2015 05:35 am Thanks. I couldn't find any pictures of a proof. I guess normally die cracks and recut dates would indicate that it is not a proof. Anyways it is the best looking portrait of King George V that I have seen. The fields are fairly reflective. It could be just the way it is toned or maybe it is stained with something.
