When come to coin collecting, sometime numismatic lover is attract by the logo design on a certain coin, in this post let us have a look on the logo behind the British North Borneo coin series.

To know about this logo, first we need to know about North Borneo Chartered Company.

The North Borneo Chartered Company (NBCC), also known as the British North Borneo Company (BNBC) was a British chartered company formed on 1 November 1881 to administer and exploit the resources of North Borneo (present-day Sabah in Malaysia). The territory became a protectorate of the British Empire in 1888 but the company remained involved with the territory until 1946, when administration was fully assumed by the Crown colony government.

The company also temporarily administered the island of Labuan in 1890 before it became part of the Straits Settlements.The company motto was Pergo et Perago, which means "I persevere and I achieve" in Latin. Its founder and first chairman was Alfred Dent.

Dear Friends and Esteemed Clients,

As you may well know, the recent outbreak has only seen sharp increases and has yet to settle down for the better. In the best interest of everyone and their well being, we have decided to postpone our JUNE 18-20 AUCTION and JUNE 21-23 KLINF numismatic fair to JULY 2-4, and JULY 5-7 KLINF numismatic fair respectively.

It is our hope that by then the situation will have settled down, and we can continue our live event in the Hilton Hotel. If the situation does not improve by July, we will have no choice but to cancel the 6th KLINF and Live Floor Bidding all together, and just proceed with Online Live Auction.

We hope that everyone can understand that this has been carefully decided and is in everyone's best interest to stay away from the masses for the time being.

Please stay safe and stay strong.
