Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Cent Charles V. Brooke Rajah coin from Sarawak (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 Charles Vyner Brooke, the third Rajah of Sarawak, dressed in traditional Malay attire, while the reverse side features a traditional Malay motif of a crescent moon and stars. This blend of cultures reflects the rich history and diversity of Sarawak, which was a British colony at the time the coin was minted.
