This should read Charles C. Brooke Rajah instead of James Brooke Rajah

Well spotted guys !

I haven't gone too far into Sarawak yet have a few but that's it (too many regal issues to collect).

There's been a few instances recently when the names of the ruler have been wrong; Kenny just changed some Irish gun money for me the other day because it said Charles II lol !

Aha Mark it wasn't too recent. But yes I made the appropriate changes for you.

Because we leave out the title of monarchs on Numista (we don't call George VI "George VI, King & Emperor of India", or Shouwa "Emperor Shouwa Hirohito"), I think we should remove Rajah from the Sarawakian coins. What do you guys think?

It wouldn't matter, because Rajah is in the lettering field.

I don´t really mind I think it looks best as it is at the moment though, by the way on the French part it still says V Brooke Rajah.

‘Rajah’ actually means ‘King’ in quite a few Asian languages - not only in Hindi & Bahasa Melayu.
