| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing effigy of Charles Vyner Brooke, third and last White Rajah of Sarawak, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair strands and naturalistic facial modeling. The truncation of the neck is clean and unadorned. The encircling legend reads 'C. V. BROOKE RAJAH' in raised serif capitals, disposed along the upper and right periphery of the field. The design is contained within a toothed inner border set against a plain field, consistent with the restrained colonial coinage aesthetic of the Brooke era. |
