Sarawak silver coin which is one of extremely difficult to find a presentable condition nowadays. This coin was still retained most of the sharp details and luster, minimal deep hairlines were observed in general. The population statistic was generated in Dec 2014, the figures may be different compared to latest.
Finding nice examples of the coinage of Rajah Charles Johnson Brooke is difficult due to the export restrictions on Sarawak coinage, limited mintage for the population size and that most coins circulated. The coins are always in strong demand by collectors. The silver coins are scarcer than the copper issues due to a mintage under 200,000 per issue for the series and a low survival rate as a result of the melting of almost all of the Sarawak silver obtained by Japanese during their World War II occupation.
