An absolute beautiful piece of the semi-keydate 1899 10 cent, this coin is from the age of Queen Victoria, which is the first ruler of the straits settlements, In 1902, it changed to King Edward VII, The 1899 has a mintage of 286,000, it weigh 2.71 grams with a 18mm diameter along side a 1.35mm thickness, it has a reeded edge and it is made out of silver 0.800, it is engraved by Leonard Charles Wyon. This 1899 10 cent is in quite amazing condition considering its age,it has a slight yellowish toning on the edges on the reverse, it also has an obverse an reverse cartwheel toning, it has great detail on the coin with only slight ware on the flowing hair under the crown.It is truly an amazing and exquisite piece in this collection. I am extremely happy and proud to have this coin in my possession, thank you!
