MALAYA & BRITISH BORNEO 1953/1954 10, 20 Cents(2)

The pair of Malaya 1953 10 cents and 1954 20 cents pattern coins struck in silver leave numismatic experts a bit puzzled. These coins are extremely rare and much different in quality than any other coin struck during that area. For years, all standard Malaya coinage was struck in nickel. Why were the Malaya 1953 10 cents and 1954 20 cents pattern coins given a special silver treatment? After much of research, the answer was found in the original British Royal Mint reports. Page 7 of The British Royal Mint Report for 1955 notes: “No coins were struck in London for Malaya during 1955, except 4 sets of proof coins in silver, consisting each of four denominations 50 cents, 20 cents, 10 cents and 5 cents, which were struck for museums in Singapore and Malaya”.

Despite this more than plausible explanation, it is still difficult to confirm that two sets of these coins were struck for a museum in Singapore and two sets for a museum in Malaya. Further, we do not know how these coins were removed from of one of the museums. Only the silver 10 cents and 20 cents denominations have appeared on the market. One pair is purported to have been a part of the legendary collection of King Farouk of Egypt. The pair offered in this auction is in superior condition, preserved with care to show the high-end craftsmanship of the British Royal Mint.

These two silver denominations were previously offered as a pair in Lot 136 of the April 4-5, 1986 Spink - Taisei Singapore auction. They were also presented as individual lots, the 20 cent 1954 Lot 377 and the 10 cent 1953 Lot 379, at the February 20-21, 1992 Spink - Taisei auction.

There is no doubt that these two coins are historical important and exceptional museum presentation quality. The only comparable rarities from Straits Settlements 1/4,1/2,1 cent struck in gold which also owned by king Farouk of Egypt.

Proof coinage means special early samples of a coin issue, historically made for checking the dies and for archival purposes, but nowadays often struck specially for coin collectors (numismatists). At the year of 1992, Bank Negara Malaysia was only issued this series of proof coinages to their staffs and NOT AVAILABLE for public collection. Since the issuing of circulation $1 and 1 sen coins were terminated few years ago, thus the collectible value of this series of proof coinages are unpredictable at future as it was only limited issuing compared to other countries.

Malaysia Circulation Proof Coin Series,1981(Proof Set of 6)

Type: Malaysia Circulation Coins (Parliment Series)
Condition: Proof in original tablet
Year of issued: 1981
Minted by: Franklin Mint, US
Mintage: Unknown, Rare

This series of coins are not alike to our daily circulation coins, it are proof coins. Proof coinage means special early samples of a coin issue, historically made for checking the dies and for archival purposes, but nowadays often struck specially for coin collectors (numismatists).

Furthermore, Circulation Proof Coin Series, 1981 is rarely be found in numismatic market as Bank Negara Malaysia did not launch it officially at the year 1981. It was believed due to the technical problem of coinage minting which the edge $1 and 50sen coins within the set were not engraved with the term "BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA" so BNM had revoked the issuing. Only certain small quantity be leaked out into market caused by unknown factors.

According to the 5th edition of KNBOON catalogue 2010, the book value is estimated RM800. However it is assummed as highly underestimated relatively to the unknown and rare number of sets available. If you see it, grap it fast while it is still cheap!

Commemorative Coins in Conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of the Proclamation of the Bunga Raya as the National Flower

It will be 50 years since the day the "Bunga Raya" or hibiscus was made the national flower of Malaysia. Despite being glorified as the country's national flower, the hibiscus is gradually losing its 'lustre' among Malaysians as compared to the flower's popularity some decades ago. The national flower of Malaysia is found in abundance throughout the country, and for this very reason, the "Bunga Raya" was chosen to be the national flower in 1960 by Malaysia's first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj. There are many varieties of the hibiscus, but the five-petalled Hibiscus rosa sinensis was chosen as the most symbolically relevant for the tag of Malaysia's national flower. The five petals of the "Bunga Raya" symbolise the "Rukunegara" (the Five Principles of Nationhood), while the colour red represents courage. The hibiscus became a national heritage after the National Heritage Department made the announcement on it in 2007.

In conjunction with the celebration, Tuanku Mizan launched a special coin issued by Bank Negara Malaysia with the cooperation of the National Heritage Department

Wao!! SA-RIBU RINGGIT!!

How many you ever seen the RM1000 banknote in your life? The RM1000 banknote was terminated from issuing since the year 1998. Do you have the experience trading with using RM1000 notes at the 90th century?

The following "SA-RIBU" banknote can be said as the most treasury collection in Malaysia Banknotes Series, RM1000 banknotes (the largest face value) at the year 1967!!! ( the 1st banknote designation issued by Bank Negara). Can you imagine how great the value of 1000 ringgit at the time 1967? enough for wedding budget? tripping? or even buy a bungalow?

The another reason of the "SA-RIBU" banknotes below become treasury collection is it is not a circulated banknote, it is SPECIMEN note!! What is specimen note?

"Specimen notes are issued to let other banks, and treasuries know about newly issued notes, that are about to be released. They may released in sets or as individual notes.

Many times theses notes will have all zero serial numbers. To keep them form being used as actual currency ( they are not legal tender, nor are they redeemable ) they will perforate or over-print the notes with Specimen or similar wording in their country's language. Some of the wording currently used is as follows:"

Specimen note issuing is extremely rare phenomenon in Malaysia Banknote History, it only issues in a very small quantity, thus it is high value for collection.

Tipu!!

I am one more times cheated by the gambling company! Why you all always tipu my money!!!

I will not go singapore anymore!!!

4th series of RM50( signed by Aziz Taha)

This series of RM50 note called as "4th series" and circulated at the year 1981-1983. The previous three series before also in the same designation but signed by different Gabenor or slightly different in designation. The "4th series" can be said as most rarely series among the four series as it is only circulated for 3 years expecially you would like to find up the UNC condition.(UNC means 100% perfect).

My next mission is RM100 note of "4th series" but it worth RM3500++ and very hard be found in market even the EF condition. (EF means near perfect but not 100% perfect). Even can be found, I also should be waited until strike lottery....
