The 1920 Straits Settlements 5-cent was among the first copper-nickel issues for the colony, replacing the earlier silver fractional coinage as part of a broader wartime and post-war drive to conserve silver across British colonial mints. The transition was not universally welcomed — silver coins retained strong local preference in the region, where metal content carried real commercial weight in trade communities.
KM#34 was struck at the Calcutta and Bombay mints during this period, identifiable by mint marks on individual pieces.
