Comment
This is an emergency issue of Sultan Sulaiman Badrul Alam Shah (1920-1942). The previous Sultan's Arabic initials (س ✶ ز✶ ع = Sultan Zainul 'Abidin) was retained even though he had died in 1918 along with the mint year. This is the only official issue authorized by the British Government of the Straits Settlements. It was equivalent to the official One Cent copper coinage from its date of issue in September 1920 until August 1921 when it was withdrawn. It was reissued in March 1924 at the rate of 4 Terengganu Cents equal to 3 Copper Cents of the Straits Settlements until demonetized on 21st March 1934.
Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of tin, which is a relatively soft and corrosion-prone metal. This makes it unusual compared to other coins, which were often made of more durable materials like copper, silver, or gold.
