Welcome to the forum.

This is a good looking piece. What is the history behind it? Is it for circulation, commemorating an event, or something else? Can you translate the text into English?

Exonumia is not a bad thing! I find this more interesting that many modern common coins. I have an extensive collection of exonumia as well as coins.

Is it exonumia or is it numismatic?
It has a stated value and an issuing authority.

Since it is a state issued bullion round, from a state in Malaysia. It is just a hunk of silver, That has little to no premium over its spot price. As been said above collecting of coins that look the same with only the dates changing could be said to be the silliest thing in the world. But people like to do it so that is fine if that is their interest not to mention why would somebody not of that country want to collect coins from a small state that most never heard of! It isn't nice to join a forum and insult members of the same forum.

It states 1 Dirham so it is a coin or NCLT if officially issued or just a fantasy piece if not.

The Gold Dinars and Silver Dirhams of the State of Kelantan
By Saran Singh AMN, AMP, PNM
updated 1st July , 2014. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The Gold Dinars and Silver Dirhams are generally accepted in the Muslim World as the Islamic Monetary Units, i.e. hahriah money. However, it is not the Legal Tender Currency in most of these muslim countries.

The State of Kelantan, Malaysia , issued undated 22 Karat (0.917 fineness) Gold coins bearing the denomination ¼ Dinar, ½ Dinar and 1 Dinar which were issued on 20th September 2006. These coins were struck by Mariwasa Kraftangan , Kuala Kangsar, Perak, and managed by Kelantan Gold Trade Sdn. Bhd.

In 2007, the State of Kelantan struck undated 22 Karat (.917 fineness) Gold 2 Dinars coins to commemorate the birthday of the Sultan of Kelantan. These coins were also struck by Mariwasa Kraftangan, Kuala Kangsar, Perak.

In 2010, the Government of the State of Kelantan authorized The World Islamic Mint Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates to issue Gold Dinars and Silver Dirhams. The designs of these coins were changed from that of the earlier 2006 issues. All these coins were not dated. The denominations issued on 12th August, 2010 were as follows:
Silver (.999 fineness) 1 Dirham, 2 Dirhams, 5 Dirhams, 10 Dirhams and 20 Dirhams. (Year 2010)
Gold (.917 fineness - 22Karat) ½ Dinar, 1 Dinar, 2 Dinars, 5 Dinars and 8 Dinars. (Year 2010)
Obverse : Modern calligraphy of the Muslim 'Shahadah' and a full Qur'anic verse, i.e. Verse Al-Mu'minum 23:52
Reverse : The Coat of Arms of the State of Kelantan. Government of Kelantan.
Edge : Milled


The above Gold dinars and Silver Dirhams are not the legal tender currency of the State of Kelantan. The Ringgit Malaysia is the sole legal tender in all the states of Malaysia (including Kelantan).

On 25th August, 2011, the Government of the State of Kelantan decided to collect and distribute zakat (obligatory money alms) in Kelantanese Gold Dinars, Silver Dirhams as well as the usual Ringgit Malaysia currency. These coins can also be used as gifts or traded at authorized outlets in the State of Kelantan.
