       I rarely bought any foreign coins. This is so far the most expensive foreign coin I have ever bought cause it costs me more than a hundred ringgit. I don't have any reference to refer but from my googling, I guess it is better for me to keep this coin alone without her other siblings, because Sumatra's coins have too many siblings too collect!
