Cyprus, Victoria, 3 Piastres 1901 Fine

British Imperial Silver coins were in use on Cyprus from 1882 with the British Shilling trading as 9 Piastres. In 1900 it was decided that piastre denominated silver coins would be struck at the Royal Mint in Tower Hill, London and this was the first issue of these. Under the new system, silver coins were legal tender to 540 piastres and bronze to 27 piastres. These 3 Piastre coins were struck for the first time and dated 1901, it was the local valuation of the Imperial 4 pence or groat. With a mintage of only 300,000 these are scarce coins in any grade. Very limited availability.

Malaya Wartime 1 Cent 1943 Unc

In 1939 the Malayan dollar replaced the Straits Settlement dollar and it remained the territory’s currency until 1953. We have a number of high grade 1943 cents in Uncirculated condition. Like similar denominations of the Straits Settlement dollar that preceded them, these coins are also square with rounded corners. These were reduced in size by the colony’s Currency Board during the war to save money and due to a shortage of materials. King George VI appears on the obverse with the denomination within a beaded circle showing the issuing authority, the Commissioners of Currencies of Malaya.
