Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1920 Charles V. Brooke Rajah 20 Cents coin from Sarawak (British Malaysia) is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of 40% silver and 60% copper. This unique composition was used to create a coin that was both durable and had a distinctive appearance. The use of Billon in coinage was a common practice in the early 20th century, but it has largely been discontinued in modern times. As a result, coins like the 1920 Charles V. Brooke Rajah 20 Cents are now highly sought after by collectors for their historical significance and unique composition.
