Malaysia Bunga Raya Series 1997 50 Cents Forgery

Rarity:RRR

Yesterday (26-05-2012); at 5.08pm, I received a sms "Hi mr.dickson ..maaf m'ganggu..sya fakkahqarsh,ada kt kdai mr.dickson skrg.. sya ada bwa syiling 97 palsu utk kjian mr.dickson"(Hi Mr.Dickson..sorry for disturbing.. I am fakkahqarsh,now at Mr.Dickson's shop,I brought you the 97 counterfeit coin for your research".

I was still in my MNS meeting in Mont Kiara,I replied to Mr.fakkahqarsh (his web name), I can only be back to my Dickson Niew Collection Shop in Subang Jaya at 6.15pm. To my surprised,he replied he wanted to wait.

We met at 6.20pm. Mr.fakkahqarsh,a teacher from Baling,Kedah came to my shop with his lovely and beautiful wife, showed me his rare piece of his 1997 Bunga Raya 50 Cents counterfeits coin.


The deformed number 7 and some odd font alphabets looked like it was minted with a retooled die.
                                                       Partial Collar Die Strike Errors.

 Weight: 9.03gm. (Normal:9.33gm)

This is my first encountered with a counterfeit 50 cents coin dated 1997, after seriously trying to complete a full set of  50 Cents counterfeits since 2008. Other rare dates are year 1993 and 2002.

My collections of 50 Cents counterfeit coins are year 1993,1997,1998,1999,2000,2001,2002,2003,2004 (Variety I and II),2005 (Variety I ,II,III and IV)),2007,2008 and 2009.

In my collection those can be attracted to magnets are year 1993,1998,1999,2000,2001,2002,2004 and 2005.

I feel extremely grateful and happy when his lovely wife and him allowed me to inherit his this rare date 1997 50 Cents counterfeit coin.

Mr.fakkahqarsh is very passionate on his error coins collection.
Sunday,they will be visiting Port Dickson seaside,I wish them to have a very memorable and happy Sunday  in my home town!

  2. Hi depankanta,
    Selamat pagi!
    Semasa En.fakkahqarsh memberitahu saya tentang syiling palsu 1997 ini, saya pun kurang pasti sehingga pegang dalam tangan dan timbang beratnya untuk pastikan kesahihannya.
    Depankanta,bersama-sama kita memburu tahun-tahun yang belum kami temui!
    Happy Niewmismatic!!

  6. fakkahqarsh,
    Happy ka pantai Port Dickson tak?
    Masih happy sangat atas kesudian fakkahqarsh memberi peluang kepada saya simpan syiling palsu itu,bukan sebab nilai,tetapi lebih pada raritynya.Pada mereka yang bukan wang palsu kolektor memang tak dapat rasa keserokannya.
    Tak sabar-sabar menanti kunjungan fakkahqarsh bersama-sama "masih ada yg agak menarik dalam simpanan fakkahqarsh nanti bila fakkahqarsh turun kl pasti akan ditunjukkan kepada mr. dickson..heheh..."!!!
    Nak tanya Cikgu bila cuti sekolah lagi huh? Haha!
