wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 09/11/2015 11:02 pm By simple knowledge about history of Malaysia, at the period of 1942 to 1945 August, most of the important cities of Malaysia (formerly known as Malaya) were occupied by Japanese troops. I don't know why there is a 1943 bronze cent made by Royal Mint circulating in this country. Metal was an important war material during WWII, why did the British government still struck a large number of these cents for her colonies? Does it make sense/no sense to believe this 1943 bronze cents actually struck in 1943? I suppose the 1945 piece is likely to be a post-war product. Who can have an idea on this topic? Thank you.

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 09/12/2015 08:03 am I think the Malaya 1943 cents were struck in 1943 (and possibly in early 1944). The War Office had been expecting to defeat the Japanese in 1943 and re-occupy the country and the Malaya planning unit knew that substantial amounts of coin would be needed. The coins weren't actually circulated until 1945. Report this Post to the Staff
