The standard reference for Malaysia coins and banknotes have a lots of improvements since the last edition.

Most of our readers thought the book cover making them remembered the Disco era in the 70's. During that era, which began in the mid-'70s, it encouraged a whole generation to dance and party.

In my opinion, the book cover is just a message to everyone to chill out and relax since the market price for Malaysia numismatic collection has been dropping tremendously. Keep on collecting within your budget and share knowledge and information to everyone.

Many readers also ask me, is this the last book by Steven Tan for Standard Catalogue Of Malaysia-Singapore-Brunei Coin & Paper Money?

Variety "b" &"d" has been added for Malaya 20 cents banknote.

Pitis Timah Kelantan-Tin Coins of Kelantan

Rusdi Jusoh publish his 2nd book "Pitis Timah Kelantan-Tin Coins of Kelantan" on 28 August 2016. The 33 pages book talk about Kelantan Pitis coins and the coins variety. The book publish by Rusdi Jusoh own company, Purbawan Enterprise (Purbawan Numismatic Gallery).

In my opinion, this book is a small catalogue of Kelantan Pitis coins with a complete pictures of each varieties. They are only 11 Kelantan Pitis coins included in this book with 43 coin varieties. Rusdi Jusoh categorize Kelantan Pitis coins into 11 categories and 2 parts (with KELANTAN word and without KELANTAN word). This book written in Malay and I am not sure if any English book available.

What interesting about this black & white book is the way the author teaches readers to recognize Kelantan Pitis coins. He use his own special catalogue number (Purbawan code P#). In my opinion, his catalogue number make it easy to understand about the coin variety and coin design as well.

The book printed by the publisher using lasetjet printer and 128g art paper. For me, it is worth it since the publisher sale this book for RM15 (including Pos xpress postage) and you only need to add RM10 for extra copy. However, for those of you who want to buy this book, it has been sold out recently.

The only mistake we found are they are some coins without their weight and diameter size in the book. Hopefully, Rusdi Jusoh also make an English version of this book in the near future.

KN Boon 8th edition book

On 19 June 2016, KN Boon 8th edition book, 1786-2016 Malaysia, Brunei & Singapore, Banknotes & Coins officially have been released for collectors. This is not just a numismatic reference book but consider as a collectible items for numismatic collectors.

Last year, most collectors bought at least 2 copies of the KN Boon 7th edition book, one for their everyday reference and one for their collectible item collection.

This year, when the news about the book come out today in Facebook, many collectors already asked Trigo Amcorp Mall (Trigometric Sdn Bhd Official Facebook account) about the book price and make booking for the book.

Like last year, only 5,000 copies of the books are printed by Trigometric. The new edition book is a lot heavier and thicker then the previous edition. This is because of the new sections added in the new book.

Malaysia Brunei & Singapore Banknotes & Coins

8th edition of the Malaysia Brunei & Singapore Banknotes & Coins, a complete education reference for Numismatic Collector. The Banknotes & coins Catalog cover Straits Settlements, Malaya, North Borneo, Penang, Sarawak, British Trade Dollar, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei currency.

Written by: K.N. Boon

Published by: Trigometric Sdn Bhd

Date published: 06/19/2016

Edition: 8th Edition

ISBN: 978-983-43313-8-2

Available in Paperback

A must have numismatic book for Malaysia banknotes and coins collectors, this new edition is 616 pages thick compare to the previous edition 496 pages.

47 pages of the much awaited Malaya Rubber export coupons section has been added in the book. At least 87 new catalog numbers has been added for Malaya Rubber export coupons. They are many unlisted Malaya Rubber export coupons added in this catalog including some of the proof and specimen coupons. Many Malaya Rubber export coupons before 1940 added in the book, some of them I have never seen before.

I should add, according to my interview with Trigometric today, most of the images for Malaya Rubber export coupons taken by Master Sifu KN Boon himself. In my opinion, images taken were very good, the color display in the book for the Malaya Rubber export coupons is the same as the original coupons.

Most of the coupons added in the books own by collectors, you can read about it in the image reference section, at the back of the book.

Trigometric told me there was little mistake in printing for page 301, the 25 katis normal coupon image is added in the page instead of the 25 katis Specimen coupon image.

Maybe in the new edition, the information for the coupons printers are added in the future catalog.

Another new section is private estate currency, Loke Yew estate. Four (4) denominations of the token notes, printed by Waterlow & Sons added in the book.

For Malaysia coins, they manage to add the latest Yayasan Sabah Commemorative coins in the catalog. For Malaysia circulation coins, they are still no updated mintage provided by Bank Negara Malaysia.

For this new edition book, the picture of Malaysia banknotes are without the signature of the governor and the words "WANG KERTAS INI SAH DIPERLAKUKAN DENGAN NILAI". It is directive of Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) that Trigometric Sdn Bhd need to comply to get approval from BNM.

They put the signature of the governor below the title of the banknote series.

Book Price

The price for the new book is RM75 (without gst) per book or RM79.50 including gst for single book.

For bulk order, minimum is five (5) copies, RM67 (without gst) per book or RM71.02 including gst.
