MALAYSIA COINS WITH MISSING "GC" MARKS
Question:
Would you please repeat the information on the missing "GC" marks on some of our Malaysia Parliament Coin Series?
The Malaysia first issue of coinage was released on 12th.June.1967.Five denominations i.e.One (1)Cent on copper planchet,Five (5)Cents,Ten (10)Cents,Twenty (20) Cents and Fifty (50) Cents on cupro-nickel.All five denominations bearing a common design.These coins were designed by Geoffrey Colley whose initials "GC" appear on the obverse of the coin below the Parliament House.
A number of Malaysia Parliament Coins with missing designer's initials "GC" marks were reported in the past couple years.The missing designer's initials "GC" marks were determined to be from a filled die.
A filled die is caused by dirt and grease plugging the letter in the die so it is not formed when the coin is struck.
Note: "GC" is NOT a mint mark.
