Malaysia 20 sen key date coin

Malaysia 20 sen Key Date Coin

First Series 1967 - 1988

1969 Mintage 15,000,000
1978 Mintage 6,847,062
1970 Mintage 1,054,000


In the year 1969, although with a large mintage of 15,000,000,  it is surprisingly difficult to locate a UNC/ BU condition coin .

In the year 1978, with the rank of the second lowest mintage of 6,847,062 . It is indeed tough to locate a UNC/BU condition coin. According to one of my shifu(master), this coin is the most difficult to obtain in the condition of a BU/UNC.

In the year 1970, the lowest mintage of 1,054,000 but surprisingly it is far more easier to obtain in the UNC/BU condition compared to the years of 1969 and 1978. According to my experience, I sorted out more than an equavilent of RM2000 in 20 sen denomination, while the 1970 circulated coins are so rare that I can't even find one, till today.
