Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1927 Charles V. Brooke Rajah 50 Cents coin from Sarawak (British Malaysia) is that it was made of silver, which was a unique feature for a circulating coin at that time. Most coins of that era were made of copper or nickel, so the use of silver for this coin made it stand out. Additionally, the coin's design features a portrait of Charles Vyner Brooke, the third Rajah of Sarawak, on one side, and a depiction of a Malayan tiger on the other, which adds to its cultural and historical significance.
