British Trade dollars legal tender in the Crown Colonies of the Straits Settlements along with the Spanish Silver Dollars, American Trade dollars, and the Mexican silver Dollars were the major coins in circulation. The British Trade dollars become very popular, because of the Chinese characters, and Jawi inscription. This coin most probably belong to someone whose chinese character was punch on to the coin or to certify that the coin is genuine and not replica.   |

Excellent posts folks - this is rapidly becoming one of my favorite topics - keep those pics coming.
A bit of background on the origin of the coins makes it even more interesting

I agree with the above.
Just posting one coin at a time and giving a few details about it seems preferable to lots of coins in one post.
