Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Cents Charles V. Brooke Rajah coin from Sarawak (British Malaysia) is that it features a unique blend of traditional Malay and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Charles Vyner Brooke, the third Rajah of Sarawak, while the reverse side features a Malay traditional boat, known as a "sampan," surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This blend of East and West reflects the cultural diversity of Sarawak during the time of British colonial rule.
