10 Cents - Elizabeth II

The Board of Commissioners of Currency, Malaya and British Borneo was itself a political compromise — a joint monetary authority created in 1952 to serve territories that were rapidly diverging in their constitutional trajectories. Malaya was moving toward independence (achieved in 1957), while British Borneo remained under varying degrees of Crown control. A single currency board issuing coins for both was already an administrative fiction by the time this series entered circulation.

The arrangement collapsed in 1967 when Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei each went their separate monetary ways, rendering this entire series obsolete within a decade of its first striking.
