Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1927 Sarawak 20 Cents coin 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 depiction of a mythical dragon, a common motif in Chinese culture. This blending of cultural influences reflects the diverse heritage of Sarawak, which was a British colony with a rich history of Malay and Chinese settlement.
