1 Cent - Sulaiman Badrul Alam Shah

Terengganu's tin coinage occupies an unusual position in Southeast Asian numismatics — the sultanate was still issuing its own currency well into the twentieth century, despite British influence having steadily encroached on the peninsula since the 1870s. Sulaiman Badrul Alam Shah acceded in 1904, and these cents were struck during a period when Terengganu remained the last Malay state to resist formal British control, which it did not accept until the 1909 Anglo-Siamese Treaty transferred suzerainty from Siam to Britain.

Tin was the obvious local choice — the peninsula's defining export metal. Singh's reference remains the primary authority for these issues.
