Comment
MALAYSIA - BRITISH NORTH BORNEO(20/06/1837-22/01/1901)
Victoria I (1819-1901) was the daughter of Edward, Duke of Kent, and Victoria of Saxe Coburg. She succeeded her uncle William IV in 1837. North Borneo has been a possession of the English crown since 1877-1878, ceded to the British North Borneo Company in 1882. In 1888, it became a British protectorate. In 1941, the Japanese invaded this territory which again became an English colony from 1946 to 1963 when this territory incorporated the Federation of Malaysia.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Cent 1882-1907 coin from North Borneo (British Malaysia) is that it features a unique blend of Eastern and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a Malayan chief, while the reverse side features the British royal crown and the words "One Cent" in English. This blend of cultures reflects the rich history of North Borneo, which was a British colony at the time the coin was minted.
