170. GC Designer's Initial for Geoffrey Colley, Designer of Malaysia Coin First Series

image 1: Designer's Initial close-up view

For some weeks I spend my time doing research in Material Science Lab.

And while doing it, I captured this GC for those who have sight problems in seeing these tiny initials.

This GC stands for Geoffrey Colley, the designer who designed the first series of Malaysian coins, famously know as Parliament Series. This GC is not a mint mark as suggested by a local catalogue, but is a Designer's Initial.

This image was taken via a microscope using 50 times magnification, the lowest magnification available. A 20 sen coin dated 1971 in UNC condition was used to capture this lovely designer's initial.
