Sarawak

I have a small collection of a coins of Sarawak. It was the principality in Malaysia since 1841 until July 1 1946 when Sarawak became the British colony. James Brook was the first Rajah of Sarawak at 1841-1868. His nephew Charles Jonson Brook was the second Rajah of Sarawak at 1868-1917.
And his son Charles Vyner Brook was the last Rajah of Sarawak at 1917-1946.
The monetary system of Sarawak was simple: 1 dollar = 100 cents. All of a coins of Sarawak was made in Heaton Mint (Birmingham, UK).
