One of the charming view of the Straits Settlement One Dollar coin is its reverse side of coin, which have the total of 3 languages of the denomination letter struck at this side of coin, the denomination of one dollar is shown in English, Chinese and Jawi, even in the British Trade Dollar which the reverse side have about the similar design, their English denomination is putting at the obverse side.
In this post, I'm showing the obverse side of the 1907 Straits Settlement One Dollar coin, which the design is portrait of King Edward VII with the crowned bust facing right, which is the master piece of the engraver George William de Saullers, and for different year you may found Straits Settlement coin with different portrait like Queen Victoria and King George V which both of coin is design as such crowned bust facing left. But there are no one dollar Straits Settlement coin with Queen Victoria portrait which at that era of time the one dollar is using the paper money design.
