MALAYSIA COIN RARE COIN 1970 ONE CENT WRONG METAL ERRORS

Malaysia 1970 One Cent Rare Coin Wrong Metal Errors.

Rarity:RRR.

Only two denominations of coin in Malaysia Parliament series were minted  by Hamburg Mint, in Germany. There were the One Cent Copper Coin with total mintage of 2,535,000 pieces and the 20 Cents Copper-Nickel coin minted for a total of 1,054,00 pieces.Both were considered a key date coin  by local coin collectors.

Why only these two denominations ?
Why there were minted  by the Hamburg Mint in Germany?
Why no more other denominations from the Parliament series are minted after 1970 by Hamburg Mint?
Why the total of mintage were so low,only 2.54 million pieces for One Cent Copper coin and 1.05 million pieces for the 20 Cents Copper-Nickel coins?

Could it be there is a period of transition lapsed from 1969 to 1971,when our Kilang Wang Batu Tiga,Shah Alam was not ready yet to mint coin ourself?

  4. Hi Dickson,
    Arg, if only we could lay our hands on one of these beauties, haha.
    Only 4 known specimens?
    Could these be the "sei-tai-mei-yan" among the Malaysian coins? haha.
    In fact, we didn't know there were such 1970 coins until you told us recently.
    Glad to know that at least two are still in the country.
    Thank you so much for sharing, Dickson and Darey :)
