Gold Pitis Brunei Of Sultan Kamaluddin 1710-1730 and 1737-1740.

Virtually all the Pitis of Brunei coins during the period of Sultan Kamaluddin are made of tin and lead alloyed and are relatively small in size, and bear the motif of a cat. The local people called it as "Kuching Mas" (Golden Cat).

What amazed me is this Brunei pitis was made in gold. If we referred to Master Saran Singh's book, "The Encyclopaedia of Malaysia Singapore and Brunei 1400-1967", all pitis in Brunei were made of tin and lead alloyed. I wondered why this coin was produced in gold.

When I took a closer looked at this gold pitis, the design of the "Kuching Mas" was not neat, the font of Arabic wording inscription on the reverse were weird. The field on the obverse and reverse of the Pitis were with full of spots. It resembled the characteristic of a casted coin, the "sand holes"!

Obverse: A cat with tail erect facing right surrounded by a circle of dots.

Reverse: In Arabic " Sultan Kamaluddin, Malik Al Dzahir" ( Sultan Kamaluddin, the Acknowledge Ruler).

Edge: Plain.

Weight: Sorry, didn't bring a long my digital weighing scale machine.

Diameter: N/V

Code: Similar to SS3A

"Gold" Umbrella Type Half Pitis (Half Cent) 1285 A.H. (1868) of Brunei.
SS48 (X)

The first pitis issued in Brunei with a definite date was issued by Sultan Abdul Momin, who ruled from 1853 to 1885. The principal composition of metal of this coin is lead with some tin content.

On the front, the coin shows the (yellow) State Royal Umbrellas and other Brunei state insignia surmounted by the Sultan's (Yellow) flag facing left with the wing of four feathers "Sayap" below. ( The Sayap is a traditional symbol of the duty of the State to protect tranquility, justice, peace and prosperity).

On the reverse of the coin also has an inscription in Jawi "Inilah titah Pitis belanja Negeri Brunei Sanat 1285" ( This is the Pitis currency of the State of Brunei year 1285 1285 A.H.=1868) or translated as "By order of the State Financial Administration of Brunei, in the year of the Prophet 1285".

The year of the Prophet 1285, or 1285 Hijrah (AH 1285), is the date according to the Islamic calendar and it corresponds to AD 1868. The coins were of two denominations - ½ and 1 pitis.

I checked through the "Brunei and Nusantara HISTORY IN COINAGE" By William L.S. Barrett and Master Saran Singh's book " The Encyclopaedia of THE COINS OF MALAYSIA SINGAPORE AND BRUNEI 1400-1967", they are no mention of this Brunei Umbrella type Half Pitis or Pitis 1285 A.H. has ever struck in gold.

This Brunei "Gold" Half Pitis was shown to me by the same senior numismatist from down South. He has the same doubt on the authenticity of this "gold" coin. To find out more details about this coin, I consulted Master Tan Tai Seng (PNM), he did told me about the story behind, but without a concrete evident and proof, I will not disclose any details until more evidence are available.

New "Coins & Banknotes Malaysia 1967-2015" Edited By WK Finest Collection.

Earlymorning today, I received a call from Mr.Benny Liew of WK Finest Collection. He told me his new catalog the "Coins & Banknotes Malaysia 1967-2015" is ready for distribution today.

I congratulated him for his success to become the fourth publisher of publishing a catalog for coins and banknotes of Malaysia.

It will be sold in most of the local coins and banknotes dealers, you can also order through the internet. The catalog was sold for RM38. Only limited to 3333 copies.

In this catalog, there are information on banknotes grading (page 4). There are information on suggested or recommended selling price on first prefix and last prefix, replacement, banknote printers, solid numbers, ladder numbers and millions numbers of banknotes of all denominations from 1st series to the current 12th series. Special additional features in this catalog is it recommends the selling price for graded banknotes by PMG for PMG64 to PMG 67.

There are also information on coins grading (Page 88). It provides the grading term & numerical rating. Grade descriptions and abbreviations on non-certified and certified coins. It listed the year of minting, the mint companies, the total mintage of coins, it listed the realized prices of auction houses on coins of Malaysia 1 sen to 1 ringgit for 1st series (Parliament House Series), 2nd series (Bunga Raya Series) and 3rd series. It also listed the recommended selling prices of graded coins by NGC for NGC 65 to NGC 67.

The recommended selling prices and details of Proof and Non-Proof Commemorative Coins, Coin Sets and Coin Cards issued by Bank Negara Malaysia from 1969 to 2014 are included but no recommended selling on encapsulated commemorative coins.

There are some mistakes that you have to take notes, the coins grading is NGC not PMG as listed,the diameter and weight for 5 Cents of Bunga Raya Series , the measurement of diameter for 50 Cents (Bunga Raya Series),the weight of RM1.00 (Bunga Raya Series), the diameter and weight on our 3rd series coinage, some details of commemorative coins are in mistakes too (e.g.the weight of 1971 RM5) and more........

I personally do not understand how the editor established the recommended selling prices for graded coins and banknotes on PMG or NGC 64 to 67.

Malaysia 3rd Series (M3S) 20 Cents Struck On 10 Cents Planchet Wrong Stock Error Coin.

A planchet is produced by punching blanks from sheet metal stock specially made for the types of mint blanks required. After the blanks are punched they are rolled on the edge placing an upset needed for the minting process. The blanks are then washed and annealed making them ready for the minting process

Left: Wrong Stock Error. 20 Cents on 10 Cents Coin Planchet (Reverse).
Right: Original 10 Cents Coin.(Reverse)

There are several types of planchet errors that include: improper alloy, wrong stock, imperfect blank, and lamination.

Left: Wrong Stock Error. 20 Cents on 10 Cents Coin Planchet (Obverse).
Right: Original 10 Cents Coin. (Obverse)

A planchet error can be caused by using a blank intended for a different denomination.The result of using a blank intended for another denomination is called the Wrong Stock Error.

Struck on wrong planchet, sometimes classified as a Striking Error and sometimes classified as a Planchet Error, a coin struck on an incorrect planchet occurs when mismatched planchets are fed into a coin-stamping press. This results in a coin that has been stamped with a design intended for a differently sized coin. The resulting errors are prized by collectors, though they are usually caught during the manufacturing process and destroyed.

Wrong Stock Error. 20 Cents on 10 Cents Coin Planchet (Reverse).

A wrong planchet most often occurs when a denomination is struck on a planchet of a different denomination. Some examples include 50 cents struck on a 20 Cents planchets, 20 Cents on 10 Cents planchets, or 1 Cent on a 5 cents planchet.

Wrong Stock Error. 20 Cents on 10 Cents Coin Planchet (Obverse)

Please take note, in a normal coining process, a denomination using a smaller planchet will never can be struck on a stock that intended for a denomination using bigger planchet. For instant, a Malaysia 5 Cents coin will never can be struck on a planchet that intended for 10 Cents coin or a 1 Cent coin will never can be struck on a 50 Cents planchet. If you come across such error coins, likely there are the assisted error coins.

Gift And Souvenir Of Bank Negara Malaysia (Central Bank Of Malaysia) A Neck Tie Pin

This neck tie pin of Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) was shown to me by a very senior numismatist cum dealer. He bought this BNM souvenir from a ex-BNM staff.

Looking at the packaging of this BNM neck tie pin, it was packed in a velvet box. The whole pin was made of silver material. The design of this neck tie pin is a 5 sen size of a Malaysian coin with the logo of BNM, the Nandi Bull / Kijang design that resembled the obverse design of a Patani-Kelantan gold Kijang Kupang , it was attached to a needle. At the bottom of the needle is a silver stopper to cover the sharp point of the needle.

The whole item looks seasoned like it was been used quite regularly by the owner for long time. I love the main design of this BNM neck tie pin, that is the BNM's logo.

Another very similar souvenir of BNM was a ring with the similar logo of BNM collected by Dato Sharuddin of Galeri Sha Banknote.(http://sharuddin58.blogspot.com/2013/05/logo-bank-negara-malaysia.html.).

Botelha Tangga Of Malacca (Emergency Coin, Circa C.E. 1629)
Rarity: RRRR/Sim F3.18

This undated silver coin minted during the Portuguese occupation was an emergency issue struck for special purpose of paying troops engaged in the defence of the city of Malacca. What follows are particulars of the coin and a short biographical note on the illustrious person after whom it was named.

Obverse:
Crowned Arms of Portugal between the letters M.A. the mintmark of Malacca Mint with dots above and below each letter within a line circle.

Reverse:
Crude tanga monogram - large T on big A (for Tanga Asia) dividing the letters R.F. (for Rei Felipe) King Philip, a dot on each side of the apex of the A, one on each side of the stem of the letter T, one on either side below the letters R and F, and another dot within the letter A, all surrounded by circle

Diameter: 15mm
Weight: 2.54 grammes
Rarity: RRRR

                The Captain-General of the Portuguese Fleets in the East, one Dom Nuno Alvares Botelho, had distinguished himself since 1623 by his victories over the Dutch Fleet which was attacking Portuguese territories throughout the Orient. After his return to Portugal he was appointed Governor of Goa by King Dom Felipe III. His letter of appointment was issued to name of Pereira, the name by which he was known at Court in Lisbon. After the death of his elder brother but before he took up the appointment, he had to give up the name of Pereira and take the family name of Botelho.

                Due to this discrepancy in names, officials at Goa refused to acknowledge him as being the man designated as Governor, in the Royal Letters. The matter had to be referred to Lisbon, In those days of sailing ships confirmation took many months.

                As Capt. Botelho's services were most urgently required in the Straits of Malacca, he appointed two Deputies - Capt. of Goa, Dom Lourenco da Cunha and Chancellor Gonzalo Pinto da Fonseca, entrusted them with the administration of Goa and immediately left for Malacca.

                By the time Botelho reached Malacca at the head of a large fleet, the city had been under siege by strong Achinese forces for five long months. The Hill had been captured and was being used as base to destroy the Portuguese garrison at Bukit China. After his arrival the Achinese and their allies evacuated their positions and fled inland in haste.

                The Portuguese forces had to be paid rather urgently. The Malacca mint had not been operating for very many years; and there was a serious shortage of silver currency. To solve the problem, Capt. General Botelho was appointed Mint Master of the Malacca Mint. He could then order the minting of a silver coin of the value of a (Goan) tanga without waiting for authorization from Lisbon, a matter which could take as long as two years depending on the monsoon. Later the Viceroy of India, Dom Miguel de Noronha (Conte de Linhares) had to justify to King Dom Felipe the coinage of money without royal assent.

The Viceroy Dom Miguel replied to His Majesty:

"Nuno Alvares Botelho coined in Malacca some coins called Botelhos, which I praised, to redeem his needs."

                This was how this undated coin came to be known as a botelha tanga after the family name of the victorious Captain of the Fortress of Malacca.

                Being an emergency issue, it was of rather crude design. The metal composition was low-grade, silver and brass, in order to give the coinage a chance of remaining in Malacca, as Chinese and Japanese traders has the habit of converting coins of high silver and gold fineness into bullion to export back to their own countries.

                Eventually, the Achinese suffered a great defeat as their formidable armada of 236 ships was annihilated by the Capt.-General's fleet in waters near Muar River.

                After that great victory Botelho continued to hunt and harrass the Dutch throughout the South Seas. The government by triumvirate, set up at Goa on 29th July, ended on 21st October, 1629. By that date, all doubts and uncertainties had been cleared.

                The governorship of Botelho did not continue very long. On 16th May 1960, during a cruise in Sumatran waters, he encountered a ship carrying gunpowder for the Dutch forts. While directing operations after boarding the Dutch ship, an explosion occurred, and both ships were blown up. Botelho, the 44th Governor of India and a member of the State Council of His Majesty Dom Felipe, lost his life that day. His body was brought back to Malacca where he was given a grand funeral.

                The tombstone of this brave Governor has never been found. The reason may be that the Dutch, who succeeded the Portuguese in Malacca after 1641, sometimes resorted to obliterating some old Portuguese tombstones to serve new Dutch graves, due to scarcity of granite.

Malaysia 3rd Series (M3S) 20 Sen Coin Planchet.
Rarity:RRR

The Third Series of Malaysian Coins was themed with "Distinctively Malaysia". The designs of the third series of Malaysian coins draw its inspiration from distinctive elements that define Malaysian culture and heritage.

The theme, 'Distinctively Malaysia', features motifs from traditional crafts and our flora and fauna. The coins reflect the diversity and richness of Malaysia's national identity.

Common Features On the obverse, each denomination features a different motif, 14 dots representing the 13 states and the Federal Territory and (with exception in the case of the 50 sen coin) five horizontal lines representing the five principles of the 'Rukun Negara' (national pillars).

On the reverse, the new series of coins feature the national flower Rosa-sinensis hibiscus (known as the 'Bunga Raya'), numerals indicating the year of minting, the face value of the coin and the words 'BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA'.

Face:20 sen
Bunga Melur
The 'bunga melur' or jasmine flower is culturally significant among the three major races in Malaysia. Its aromatic scent makes it an important part of traditional ceremonies like weddings and prayers. It is also a popular motif in traditional arts and crafts like embroidery and silverwork.

On the new 20 sen coin, the jasmine flower is featured with a 'destar siga' cloth motif in the background.

Alloy: Nickel Brass
Diameter: 20.60mm
Weight: 4.18gram.

This is a piece of 20 sen M3S planchet. It becomes a difficult collectible item because with the state of art coining process, it is almost impossible to have coin planchets "run away" from the mint.

Malaysia RM1.00 1994 Waffle Cancelled Coin.

About Waffled Cancelled Errors:
When coins are released from the mint with an error they achieve a new more valuable status. Historically they have multiplied in value. Error coins that manage to get out of the mint become valuable collector's items; and as coin minting technology has advanced the amount of imperfect coins leaving the mint has been drastically reduced; creating an even bigger demand for those that inadvertently do get out.

Now the mint has begun to employ a new method of cancelling errors and voiding them as currency. That method is called waffle cancelling. In most cases these cancelled coins are subsequently melted and recycled, but not always.

Since the mint began to waffle coins, they have become a new hot collectible in the coin market. The Mint has been using machines to cancel defective coins. The coins are conveyed through crushing rollers. These rollers partly obliterate the coin's design and impart a corrugated or "Waffle" pattern on the coin. Hence, the term Waffle.

The same basic process has been used by Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, South Africa, Spain and other countries for many years.

Coins destroyed in this way are variously called: Demonetized, Decoined, Mint-Cancelled, or Defaced. The patterns left by the rollers may or may not resemble "waffles".

When the mint finds a problem on a coin and rejects it they run it trough the "waffler" to "cancel" it and render it into a non-legal tender piece of scrap metal.

Those that have appeared on the open market have achieved their own unique market values.

In the past these rejected coins were not waffled and when they were shipped back to the coinage strip manufacturers for recycling they had to be accompanied by armed mint police for security because they were still legal tender and the security would have to remain until such time and the coins were melted down. Now with waffling they are just scrap metal and the security measures are no longer needed. This results in a big savings for the Mint. Now this scrap metal is offered for sale by the mint and it is usually purchased by the strip manufacturerers but it can be purchased by other metal recylers as well.

Once it is purchased and they take possession of the scrap it belongs to them and they can do what ever they want with it. In some cases people have bought some of these waffled coins, they have had the coins slabbed and they offer them for sale.

50 sen
Sulur Kacang

The 'sulur kacang' (pea tendrils) motif featured on the new 50 sen coin is popular among traditional woodcarvers and silversmiths. The motif is drawn from the graceful twists and curls of long bean vines, and can be seen embellishing fine jewellery pieces and boxes, in addition to decorating doorways, window frames and wood paneling in traditional wooden homes. Fine lines in the motif background are part of the security features.

Security Feature
Latent Image of the denomination 50 sen can be seen when the coin is tilted slightly.

Latent Image: "50"(Left) and "SEN" (Right).

Face Value: 50 sen
Alloy: Nickel Brass Clad Copper
Diameter (mm): 22.65
Weight (gram): 5.66

As coin minting technology has advanced for minting the M3S coins, the amount of coin planchets leaving the mint has been drastically reduced. Hence creating an even bigger demand for those that inadvertently do get out.

Patani "Gold Kupang" With Incused "Malik Al Adil" On The Reverse.

Few days ago, my good friend from Patani, Thailand posted me a piece of "Gold Kupang", he wanted me to do a details research on his "Gold Kupang".

It was a big size Kupang with a diameter measured at 17.00mm. The weight is 1.17 gm. The size was bigger then a normal Gold Kupang of 10.00mm and the weight was double the weight of a normal Gold Kupang of 0.60gm.

Obverse: " Malik Al Adil"

On the obverse in Arabic inscription " Malik Al Adil" and on the reverse is also in Arabic inscription " Malik Al Adil" but it was in mirror image or retrograde. It was a struck coin but it exhibited an incused "Malik Al Adil" in Arabic lettering on the reverse liked a Brockage Error.

Reverse: Incused in Arabic " Malik Al Adil".

When I received this Patani "Double Gold Kupang", it was in reddish gold colour, it shined in more golden colour after I did some light cleaning with soup.

I referred to a few Sultanate Coins sifus. There were replied with different comments. One said it is a counterfeit Kupang. Another said it is an ornaments. Master Tan Tai Seng said it may be not made of gold material, because if with such size it should be measured much heavier on weight.

Could it be a counterfeit "Gold Kupang" or a counterfeit "Double Gold Kupang" coin ?
Could it be a genuine Patani Gold Kupang that was well accepted and was widely used in Patani?
Could it be an ornament coin made for prayer ceremony or as a gift item on special occasion in Patani?

DOUBLE RAGGED CLIP ERROR 5 SEN 1976

≪ Previous: 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF TAMAN NEGARA COMMEMORATIVE COINS

Malaysia Parliament House Series 1976 5 Sen With Double Ragged Clip Error.
Rarity: RRR
Ragged clips

Ragged Clipped At Reverse:12.00 o'clock to 3.00 o'clock And 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock Position.

If the punches overlap the ragged ends of the strip, a resulting ragged area of missing metal occurs.
A coin with a ragged clip has its circular outline interrupted by a very irregular edge.

Ragged clips are traditionally thought to be derived from the unfinished leading or trailing end of the coin metal strip. While these ends are supposed to be trimmed, this step can be accidentally (or intentionally) skipped. While ragged clips are sometimes referred to as “end of sheet” or “end of strip” clips.

Ragged Clipped At Reverse: 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock Position

Ragged Clipped At Reverse:7 o'clock to 8 o'clock Position

The shape of a ragged clip is highly variable. Many are straight, some form “ragged notches” and some turn into “ragged fissures”.

Ragged Clipped At Reverse:12.00 o'clock to 3.00 o'clock Position

The edge texture of a ragged clip is invariably rough and shows some graininess

Ragged Clipped At Reverse:12.00 o'clock to 3.00 o'clock Position

Ragged clips are sometimes confused with broken coin and broken planchet errors.

Ragged Clipped At Reverse:12.00 o'clock to 3.00 o'clock Position

A clipped coin is made long before it becomes a coin. It starts as a clipped planchet; the blank before the dies in the coinage press strike it. A punching-cutting machine is used to make the planchets. Long rolled sheets of metal are automatically fed into the machine and the punching-cutting machine goes up and down, cutting circle planchets out of the thin metal strips.

If the metal sheet is not lined up properly with the punch-cutting machine, straight clips can be formed. This is because the metal is feed into the machine to far to the right or left. The punching-cutting machine will cut circles out of the sides of the sheets, which do not fill the area cut by the punch. This leaves one side of the planchet straight. Thus a straight clip.

If the metal is not feed into the punching-cutting machine at a steady speed, the movement of the metal does not keep up with the punching. When this happens, the machine is cutting circle planchets out of an area in the metal that has already been cut. This a curved clip.

If the roll of metal over feeds the punch-cutting machine, the punching machine cuts the ends of the roll. This forms a ragged clips.

The chart below is intended as a representative example of what might occur to cause incomplete planchets.

In actuality, the planchet strip is up to 18" wide, and gang punches may have up to 80 dies to punch the blanks. The numbers in the diagram are meant to represent 5 actions of the punch. The first, second and third are normal. The fourth punch has slipped (likely due to a loose guide), causing the punches to overlap the edge. The 5th punch also overlapped the edge, and overlapped the end of the strip as well.

As you can see by the drawing, these various misaligned punches cause the incomplete planchets described above. Types of clipped planchets With clipped-planchet errors, size matters-and so does the number of clips.

On average, a single clip is worth about RM150. It would be worth RM250 to RM350 with a double clip, RM500 to RM800 with a triple clip. A coin with particularly dramatic clips, or with more than three clips, could be worth even more. Conversely, a coin with relatively small clips could be worth substantially less.
