In 1934 the Malay Commissioners of Currency was formed in order to provide a single economic unit for the Straits Settlements
guaranteed by the Malayan Governments. Coins were first produced for the Commission in 1939 with the one cent first struck
that year bearing a similar design to the previous Straits' pieces on square planchet. The
reverse features a double inner circle with 1 CENT in the middle and the
legend, COMMISSIONERS OF CURRENCY MALAYA.The issue is relatively easy to source and can be obtained inexpensively
in the lower mint state grades and though while available in brilliant mint state
, all dates, particularly the Bombay mint issues tend to command strong prices as such.
The planchet was reduced in size in 1943.
