sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 06/14/2013 02:10 am The silver 50 cents (two types) of Sarawak are quite scarce, and VF or better examples of the first type can cost $ hundreds. Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2881 Posts	Posted 06/14/2013 02:56 am Yes, the "country" only had the two rulers - (amazing that it's really only just over 100 years since an enterprising explorer could carve out their own country) but I'm aware that the better preserved coins are on the pricy side. It's such an interesting slice of geography/histry though.

stud722 Pillar of the Community United States 1088 Posts	Posted 06/14/2013 09:43 am This was a tougher one for me to find for my collection as well. Actually, just last month added it to the collection. Same coin and year, mine is not in as nice condition though. Nice coin Report this Post to the Staff

Sarawak had 3 rulers: James Brooke (1842-1868), his nephew Charles Brooke (1868-1917)and Charles' son Charles Vyner Brooke (1917-1946) Edited by bart 06/16/2013 5:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2881 Posts	Posted 06/20/2013 1:03 pm You're right of course on the rulers number - a slip of the keyboard on my part.
