    Description

    KM 13, 15 year type, from an unusual location. The Straits Settlements eventually became part of Malaysia. Half dollar size silver coin with Queen Victoria on the obverse.
    The coin has some significant scratches on the obverse, most of which are positioned to imply beheading the queen.  Is this a political statement?  I have seen some French royal coins with the king's lips scratched out, indicating "we do not have to listen to you."
