Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Jokoh Cent coin from the Sultanate of Pahang is that it was made of tin, which is a relatively soft and corrosion-prone metal. This choice of material was likely chosen for its low cost and abundance in the region, rather than its durability or resistance to wear and tear. Despite these limitations, the coin has remained a popular collector's item and a symbol of the rich history and culture of the Islamic states of Malaysia.
