Comment
The mintmark of Heaton & Sons (H) is below bust on some 1907.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1907-1909 Straits Settlements (British Malaysia) 1 Dollar coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in the region. The coin was introduced during the reign of King Edward VII, and it was the first coin to feature his image. The coin's design was also unique in that it featured a small effigy of the king, which was a departure from the larger images of previous monarchs. Additionally, the coin was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the copper and bronze coins that were previously used in the region. This change in material was likely due to the increasing value of silver at the time. Overall, this coin is a fascinating piece of history that highlights the evolution of currency in the Straits Settlements during the early 20th century.
