1971 MALAYSIA ONE DOLLAR MINTED IN ROYAL MINT UK
 |
| Malaysia One Dollar .1971.Minted In UK. (Dickson Niew Collection) |
However,500,000 pieces was minted by Royal Mint in UK.
Do you know how to differentiate a Malaysia 1971 one ringgit coin minted by Royal Mint of UK or Royal Mint of Malaysia?
Look carefully at the lettered edge wording-"BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA",those coins minted by The Royal Mint of UK,the wordings are very neat, clear and clean U-shaped incused grooves.Details on the field are of better struck and come with more eye appear lustre.
Whereas coins minted by The Royal Mint of Malaysia-Shah Alam factory are normally come with a thinner lettered edge wordings and less attractive lustre.
You need to compare the coin one by one and place side by side, look at the differences between them.

You need to compare the coin one by one and place side by side, look at the differences between them.
Here are some of the obvious differences:
1) Royal Mint of UK, with Clear and Neat Strikes on the Lettered edge.
Top Coin Minted In Malaysia.Bottom Coin Minted In UK.
2) Royal Mint of UK,on the lettered edge,in the wording of "Malaysia",the alphabet "M" are different from the local mint.The center -V shape of the alphabet "M" are taller on the London Mint than the local mint.
3) Royal Mint of UK ,in the wording of "Malaysia",the alphabet "S" are also different from the local mint.The alphabet "S" are taller on the London Mint than the local mint.
Recently I have found the 50 cent coin 2005 very similar to the coins described above. When I was studying at the edge of a coin 2005, I noticed there were two types of letters are different, it is capitalized and one lettered small, and the letter 'S' in the word "Malaysia" is also about the same as well as written on $ 1 above . And at the Bunga Raya also have slightly different pattern design. Is the 50 cent coin 2005 same as well as $ 1 coins that has different mint?
ReplyDeleteDear Bonden,welcome your comments.In year 2005, I found there were 3 types of Die Varieties for Malaysia 50 Cents Bunga Raya Coin Series.Because a die is cater for only a few million times of strikes, and in the year of 2005,there were total of 691,680,006 pcs of 50 Cents Bunga Raya Coin were struck. Definitely, there were used more than one die.A new die may produced by different designer,hence,there will have some different in details.There are also possibility that it was minted by different Mint factory.
ReplyDeleteIn the future, can you tell more detail about the 50 cent coins 2005 with three kinds of die variety in your blog.? I still can not detect another type of die variety.
ReplyDeleteDear Bonden,
ReplyDeleteSure,I will post the Die Variety of the 50 Cents coins of year 2005 once I take a good and clear picture of them.Best regards.
i think 1 sen and 50 sen of 2002 also got 2 different die variety.
ReplyDeleteYes!Boden,you are right.In the year of 2002,all denominations;i.e.1 sen,5 sen,10 sen,20 sen and 50 sen of Malaysia Bunga Raya Coin Series especially the petals of the hibiscus, are of different die design from the rest of the years (before and after).
ReplyDeleteMost likely the dies in year 2002 were crafted by a different craft master.

ReplyDeleteOk!Kecuali untuk numismatik sahaja!
Is there a rm50 coin?
ReplyDeleteHi Dickson, I see you mention a possible value of up to 25 times face value for 1971 UK minted Malaysian Dollar in UNC condition. I recentley was given a gift of 50 pieces of this UK minted Malaysian dollar all in UNC condition. My question is...given that I have a set of 50 all in perfect condition should the whole sets value increase especially as only 500,0000 were minted and I would imagine getting 50 all in mint condition is so rare??
ReplyDeleteDear anonymous,
ReplyDeleteUncirculated=Recommended Selling Price:RM16.00
Brilliant Uncirculated(BU),no scratches,no nicks,no bag marks is RSP RM25.
This is not that rare,because most of the earlier dollar pieces minted in London Mint still in collectors hand,but BU in condition are not easy to find!
All of my 50 coins are in perfect condition. The origional owner was very shrewd and I believe these are un circulated (BU) condition coins. As a future investment I have made sure to keep them protected in a coin catalog.I have inspected them very carefully under 10 x diamond loupe and find them to be in perfect condition with origional lustre. What should I expect them to be valued at given that the set is of 50 pieces and from the uk minted collection?
ReplyDeleteThank you in advance for your helpfull information. I expect to pass these down through my family for generations as a reminder of their heritage.
Hi Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteIf in perfect BU condition,RSP RM25 per piece.
