The Forgotten Tin Ring Currency of the Malay Peninsula

We took, accepted, and passed on suggestions and assumptions as absolute facts without questioning their basis and accuracy. This book takes a fresh and independent perspective on the subject.

About the author

A lifelong admirer of numismatics, Zukarnine developed a particular fascination with the pre- and post-independence coinage of Malaysia and the broader Malay Archipelago. His passion took a defining turn in 2005 when he acquired his first piece of tin animal currency—a milestone that laid the foundation for a focused and enduring pursuit of these historically significant artefacts.
