Today I am sharing Top 5 posts about Malaysia gold that has been posted in my blog before. Some of you might have not read some of the posts before unless if you're lunaticg.blogspot loyal readers since 2009. What you read here are just snipet of the actual posts, click on the title to read more about it. I am sharing the old posts because a reader asked me why I share less story about Gold News in Malaysia. The main reason maybe because this blog is not about gold, I am more on banknote and coin. They're also less news about Malaysia gold coin since Bank Negara Malaysia don't frequently produce a commemorative gold coin. When they do, they only produce a small quantity of gold coins for collector to collect.
1. Kelantan Kijang Gold Kupang
Different views were given regarding the origin of the Kijang gold coins. One is the view which associates the coins with Che Siti Wan Kembang, a female ruler in Kelantan. Her reign was rather obscure as one historian places her in the 14th century while another puts her in the 17th century. According to local folklore, some Arab traders presented a Kijang to the Queen. She became very fond of her pet and had it inscribed on the gold coins. Another version was linked to the influence of Saivite Hinduism. The connection was based on the fact that the earliest issue of Kijang coins resembled the Indian humped-back bull and the bull motif was depicted on the ancient Hindu coins which were circulated in the Northern Malay States.
