MALAYSIA COINS 1970 MINTED IN HAMBERT MINT

Malaysia 1 Cent & 20 Cents (1970) Coins Minted At Hamburg Mint, Germany.
The Hamburg Mint (Hamburgische Münze) has been producing coinage since the 9th century and is thus the oldest coin-minting site in Germany. As one of the five state-owned mints, the Hamburg Mint now produces a proportion of all the Euro coins for the Federal Republic of Germany, as well as foreign currencies, special coins, collectors’ coins and medals. The specialists at the Hamburg Mint are leaders in the field of design and production of special coins and individual medals. It is possible to design and create high-grade medals – for collectors, for advertising purposes and for your individual wishes – even for just one coin.
Only two denominations of coin in Malaysia Parliament House 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?
