Twenty Cents 1927, Coin from Sarawak - detailed information
| ||||||
Silver coinage was introduced in Sarawak in 1900 with weights and fineness of the silver coins corresponding with the respective issues of Hong Kong and the Straits Settlements. In 1920 the denomination was, then made smaller in size in 1927 (this issue). This was the last date of the denomination. These coins circulated for 15 years until the Japanese occupation forces replaced them with their own invasion currency in 1942. After the war, Sarawak did not regain independence and eventually became one of the states forming the Federation of Malaysia. Its coinage was formally demonetised in 1953. | ||||||
