Sales History

?

In 1952 the Malaya and British Borneo dollar was established for use in Singapore, the Federation of Malaya, North Borneo and Sarawak with coins first issued in 1953 though the twenty cent was first struck in 1954. The Twenty Cent continued with an only slightly updated design when compared with the first twenty cent coin in 1871. The reverse features the new legend of MALAYA AND BRITISH BORNEO around an inner circle with 20 CENTS inside. The obverse features the young head effigy of Queen Elizabeth II and the legend, QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND.The issue was struck in four years from 1954 to 1961 though with a number of mintmark variations for 1957 and 1961 leaving a total of 7 issues to collect. All years but one are readily available in mint state though the 1957-KN is scarce in high grades.
