Queen Victoria Straits Settlement coin is one of the favourite theme for Malaysia numismatic lover, the largest denomination in this series is 50 cents coin that issued between 1886 to 1901, but this coin is not cheap even in the EF condition, so UNC is consider rare with much higher pricing.
In 2019, I found that there are 100 pieces of the private issue medallic, using the design of 1889 Queen Victoria 50 cents Straits Settlement coin, is selling in the local numismatic channel in NCG slab, I think this is a very beautiful design which NGC give them a PFUC (Proof Ultra Cameo) grading. For those who wish to enjoy the eye appealing design can consider to have it but of course in numismatic value, it is still just a private issue medallic and not a real coin.
And when I browse through the NGC population record, interestingly found that there are another 100 pieces of the private issue medallic issued in this year, and it is in the design of 1893 Queen Victoria 50 cents Straits Settlement coin, at the time of writing I still didn't see any of them selling at local market.
I'm also curios it is which party or company issuing this private issue medallic.
