When the press is being set up and adjusted, extremely weak strikes occur as the strike pressure reaches its optimum level. But usually occurs when the power to the presses is turned off, some last few pieces of coins minted, there may have received a very weak strike from the coining press, the dies continue to strike coins with less and less pressure until coming to a stop. On such coins all the detail, including the reeding on clad coins should exhibit extreme weakness.These die trials are destroyed after being struck and are rarely found in circulation.

  2. Hi depankanta blogspot,
    Bahagian sisi(edge) syiling ini adalah sama dengan syiling 50 sen yang lain,kerana semua 50 sen Malaysia lettered edge nya ditempa dulu sebelum muka depan-belakang (Obverse-Reverse) nya ditempa.

  3. Hi Dickson,
    What about the weight of this die trial specimen coin? It should be the same with the normal coin isn't?

  4. Hi mnfaj,
    Yes, the weight of this die trial specimen coin should be the same with the normal coin, otherwise it is a PMD coin.
