Malaya and British Borneo was a monetary union for the British colonies along the Malay Straits that included the Malay States (formerly the Straits Settlements), North Borneo and Sarawak. It issued coins from 1953 to 1962. The coins were replaced by the coins of the independent nations of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei in the 1960’s. The coins are Uncirculated, though may be slightly toned. The coins of this short-lived monetary union are rarely seen today.

Hi!
I have a foreign coin collection and also have a coin inscribed with Commissioners of Currency Malaya on one side and King George The Sixth on the opposite, but mine has a date of 1950. It is a round, 5 cent coin that is silver in color. Is it possible that these coins were made in 1950 as well?
I just left that last comment about the Malaya coin. Would it be possible to get some email insight on it?
Thanks!
I have some one sen coins inscribed with commissioners of Currency Malaya on one side and King George The Sixth on the opposite with dates of 1939 and 1920, square in shape, bronze/copper. Also one sen round coins on one side Straits Settlements One Cent 1908 and Edwards VII King and Emperor.
I have the same coin as the square one. But its dated 1939. Is it a fake if it dated earlier.
Hi, is the one cent Malaya coin for sale?
