To me, a piece of 1993 50 Cents counterfeit coin was found is a "great" discovery in the history of Malaysia Bunga Raya Series Counterfeits. Before this piece of 1993 50 Cents Bunga Raya Series Counterfeits was found, the earliest date was dated 1998,so I always thought that the counterfeiters started to mint Malaysia 50 Cents Bunga Raya Series Counterfeit coins from 1998.Now,we knew there were in operations since 1993.
It was minted on a steel plated planchet, thus is attracted to magnets.
On reverse of the coins,there were multiple thin cracked lines, the "Multiple Die Crack " errors.

On 22nd of July.2011,I received a sms message from a face book friend who is a regular visitor to my Blog, her name is Lily from Kota Kinabaru,Sabah,she told me she had a piece of "Tumbler" coin, one piece 50 Cents 1993 and an other piece dated 2000 of Malaysia Bunga Raya Series Counterfeit coins,both counterfeit coins were attracted to magnets.
This is to make a conclusion that the counterfeit coins were in production and circulation since 1993 not only in West Malaysia, these counterfeits were export from West Malaysia to East Malaysia or even were produced locally in East Malaysia.
Hi Dickson,
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the info.
Will have to recheck old stocks again, haha.
This 1993 faked coin reminds us of the still earlier 1985 faked 50sen and the one ringgit nordic gold coins.
Cheers :)
Hi Mr.Dickson,
ReplyDeleteDalam 3516 keping tentu banyak errors yg dijumpai..hahaha
Depankanta berpendapat syiling palsu ini walaupun tertempa tahun berapa tapi ianya dibuat selepas tahun 2000.Pembuatnya mungkin membuat syiling berkenaan pada tahun 2005 tapi ditempa tahun "berapa yg dia suka"(sebab dia orang bukan ada ISO atau apa2 piawai yg perlu dipatuhi)..depankanta ada jumpa syiling palsu tahun 1998 yg keadaan berkilat macam baru setahun dibuat..Melainkan ada rekod syiling palsu dijumpai pada tahun2 awal pengeluarannya.
Ini hanya pendapat depankanta untuk perkongsian kita bersama..
Terima kasih banyak Mr.Dickson
Dear Whycollect,
ReplyDelete1985 faked 50sen is one,and only year that you can find counterfeits in Malaysia Parliament Series.
It was agreed by the veteran collectors,this 1985 50 Cents counterfeits is one of the best counterfeits and we named it the contemporary counterfeits!
As for the $ & RM1.00 Copper-Nickel "gold coin",to collect a set in UNC is not an easy task today!!
Dear Depankanta,
ReplyDeleteHi!Ia,saya bersetuju dengan kamu ada kemungkinan besar mereka "Restrike" dengan Die-Die yang lama yang berlainan tahun.
Tetapi,saya yakin mereka memang ada menghasilkan syiling-syiling pada tahun-tahun asalnya.
Akan tetapi,kenaikan kos material dan operation mesti telah menjejaskan kadar keuntungan mereka,sehingga mereka (mungkin) tidak berbaloi untuk buat mould baru,sebab saya masih tidak jumpa syiling-syiling 50 sen palsu untuk tahun 2010!
I also got one 50 cent "magnet attractable" coin mint in year 1993. and currently sell at ebay.
