Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Cent - Zainal Abidin III 1325 (1907) coin from the Sultanate of Trengganu is that it was made of tin, which is a relatively soft and malleable metal. This is unusual for coins, as most coins are made of harder metals like copper, silver, or gold to ensure their durability and resistance to wear and tear. The use of tin for this coin may have been a deliberate choice to make it easily identifiable and distinguishable from other coins in circulation.
