one of my favourite coins. last time I can find this at RM50 a piece. Nowadays, it will be almost impossible to get it below RM100.
Hi mnfaj,
Looks like you are nearer to your goal.
Keep it up :)
Hi lunaticg,
Yes these are my favourite coins too. I must say that Penang coins series are the most attractive among our past coins.
Hi whycollect,
Hopefully so. Thank you. :)
