I forget the last year they struck them, but that would be a good year to have an example of. </p><p>I always liked the older Malaysian coins, the British Colonial silver coins of &#039;The Straits Settlements&#039; which was formed in 1826 by combining the territories of Singapore, Penang and Malacca. In 1939 the name was changed to &#039;Malaya&#039;. On Aug. 31, 1957 &#039;Malaya&#039; was granted full independence, and in 1963 became part of Malaysia. Straits Setttlements coins are quite popular with British Commonwealth coin collectors, they also tend to have fairly low mintages, and the design of the early Silver One Dollar coins is quite beautiful.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some photos from my collection of coins of The Straits Settlements:</p><p>The first pictured is an silver 1891 10 cents of Queen Victoria.</p><p>The second coin pictures is a little Silver 5 cents from 1935 of King George V, you can see some die cracks on the reverse, this is one of my favorite British Commonwealth coins.</p><p>Third is a Straits Settlements 1921 silver Half Dollar of King George V.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
