Straits Settlements was a British crown colony on the Malay Peninsula of Asia. It was formed in the 1820s by combining Singapore, Penang and Malacca. In 1903, the colony issued its first crown-sized coinage, the Straits Dollar. These were struck at the Bombay mint in India and feature a crowned bust of King Edward VII.
A second rarity drawing collectors’ attention is a Malaysia 1970 Copper Plated Steel Sen graded NGC MS 65 RB (lot 223) with an estimate of RM12,000 to RM15,000 (about $3,000 to $4,000 USD). The coin is a key date for collectors of Malaysian numismatics.
