Here is a couple of photos showing what Kelantan's 2010 coins look like on both sides.

The obverse has Arabic inscriptions,along with the 'WIM' mintmark of the World Islamic Mint (Dubai).

I harvested these photos off Facebook to post here.

You will be able to buy them through http://www.nubex.com.my in Kuala Lumpur after their release to the public in August.

I don't know who will be the official sellers up in Kelantan.

As soon as these come out in August,someone will need to inform both Krause Publications & K.N. Boon to report them,along with their specifications,& including photos.

The same thing applies to the Kelantanese AH1427 (2006) 1/4,1/2,& 1 Dinar,the 2007 Sultan of Kelantan's Birthday 2 Dinars,& the Kedahan 2008 Sultan's Golden Jubilee commemoratives.

The sooner that we get the Malaysian states' modern medal-coin issues listed in the major world numismatic catalogues,the better!

I have already got mine listed on http://www.allnumis.com , http://www.coinbrag.com ,& http://www.coinforums.com/gallery/ so far.

KELANTAN LAUNCHES DINAR AND DIRHAM ON 12TH AUGUST 2010 (new!)
Thursday, 08 July 2010 04:11


Alhamdulillah, we are happy to announce the news all of us have been waiting for – the official launch of Dinar and Dirham in the state of Kelantan will be held in its capital, Kota Bharu, on 12 August 2010.

The upcoming event in Kelantan is history in making as it marks the beginning of both, the rise of Islam and demise of Capitalism for the two can’t co-exist: when the light comes darkness disappears.

This is the first time in the last 100 years, since the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate, when a Muslim government introduces Shariah Currency. Indeed there has been four generations of Muslims who have not seen Gold Dinar and Silver Dirham; four generations of Muslims who have been divided into little national reservations and sentenced to permanent robbery first by local, then by international Masters of Riba; four generations of Muslims who haven’t known what is their Deen. The introduction of Gold Dinar and Silver Dirham in the state of Kelantan is not a new idea or experiment, it is the return to the medium of exchange that has been known for 1400 years throughout Dar al-Islam as Money of Shariah taking its legislation from Allah’s Revelation and Rasul’s Sunnah.

On the 12th August people of Kelantan are going to say “NO” to the insane world order created by bankers after WWII not by blasting offices and embassies nor by deciphering bloodlines and agendas of occult societies but by putting Halal money in their pockets.

On the 12th August people of Kelantan are going to say: “One Dinar – One Ummah”.

On the 12th August the government of Kelantan will start moving with the current, Divine Current, and every stroke in the direction of the current would bring Kelantan 10 times farther than a stroke against it; the first stroke will be the payment of 25% of salaries to public servants in Dinar and Dirham; all state companies will be accepting payments in Dinar and Dirham is another stroke; 600 shops will receive stickers “We Accept Dinar and Dirham” – yet another stroke.

However the 12th August is not the moment of celebration but rather the moment of Tauba, Tauba for all of us without exception, for we all have allowed the Deen of Islam, the most precious gift we were given, to slip away from our lives and replace it with primitive puritanical monotheism centered around sexuality, woman’s dress code and halal chicken, a religion which Umar Pasha Vadillo calls Islamic Protestantism.

Yes, before and especially on the 12 of August we have to put our foreheads on prayer mat in a long sajdah and ask forgiveness from Allah Subhanahu for letting Riba, the most heinous crime, become part of our daily existence, for our great Ulama in the past would not tolerate even one bank in their lands, let alone declare it Halal, because they really believed that “dirham of Riba is worse than adultery 36 times”. And there are Ulama today too who are not compromising the Deen, Umar Pasha Vadillo said in one of his lectures in Kazakhstan last year: “One bank on your street is worse than prostitution in your own family!”.

So this is the moment of realization of how far we have gone out of the Deen and how urgently we need to go back.

August 12 is not the end but the beginning of our affair as the Shariah currency is the first element to be put in place then to be followed by the second, Souq (Islamic market) which in turn will require all other elements of Islamic Muamalat to come into picture thus bringing an entire paradigm shift of what is money, trade, wealth, investment, - and what is not.

The ceremony will be attended by many guests: besides Chief Ministers of several Malaysian states, there will be government officials from Sulu Sultanate, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, as well as leaders of various jama’as and organizations from Germany, Spain, Kazakhstan and other countries. The event will undoubtly signify the emergence of the new centre of the Islamic world in the 21st century: NUSANTARA.

Muslim leaders, activists and especially media are most welcome to Kota Bharu, Kelantan to witness the main Islamic event of the last 100 years.

As the historic day of 12th August approaches Muamalah Council Malaysia and its chairman, Hajj Umar Azmon, wish to express thankfulness to Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz and Datuk Husam Musa of Kelantan state government; may Allah grant Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz and Datuk Husam Musa, their families and their people total success in this world and, most importantly, in the next. Amin.

KELANTAN DINAR AND DIRHAM HAVE ARRIVED
Thursday, 10 June 2010 05:45

For most of Malaysians the morning on Tuesday, 8th June 2010, was just
another morning in their existence - monotonous run on the capitalist treadmill - nothing extraordinary indeed: the same tropical weather (+32C) outside, same sickening news in the media, same interest rates, same order of the day.
   
But for the people of Kelantan this morning was very special: on the 8th June 2010 at 11am the box with the set of the first gold dinars and silver dirhams of the State of Kelantan arrived to Kuala Lumpur from the World Islamic Mint, Dubai. Sending the sample coins is the standard procedure in minting industry, the main lot will follow just in a matter of days.

Although Kelantan government first minted gold dinars in 2006, the new coins have a new reality because:

*
This is the first time when not just gold dinar but also silver dirham has been minted;
*
This is the very first time the Kelantan dinars and dirhams are minted in accordance with the international standard which is set by World Islamic Trade Organization (WITO) and monitored by World Islamic Mint (WIM); 99% of all dinars & dirhams minted worldwide in the last 20 years is the work of WIM, hence the new Kelantan coins – the reverse side of the coins bear the logo of WIM while on the obverse is coat of arms and name of Kelantan Government – have international status and acceptance among millions of muslim and non-muslim users around the world;
*
This is also the first time when the coins are minted in all denominations: Dinar – ½, 1, 2, 5, 8; Dirham – 1, 2, 5, 10, 20;
*
Unlike before this time the new coins will be distributed to public throughout the state of Kelantan under homogenized pricing scheme and proportionate value between denominations;
*
And most significantly, this is the first time when all state companies in Kelantan will accept the Islamic coins as well as 600 shops (in the first phase) displaying the sticker “We Choose Dinar&Dirham” thus instantly giving a broad avenue for the public to utilize their coins.

And this is just the beginning, the second phase will see introduction of features like safe-keeping facilities (wadiah) and electronic payment system to further enhance the level of customers’ convenience.

   
What these coins mean to Kelantanese people? They mean a lot, they mean freedom, the people now can say: “Let us choose whether we want Malaysian Ringgit, American Dollar or Kelantan Gold Dinar. You can tell us that your money is better than the other but let us decide whether we want it or not”.

During the ceremony of opening the box with the very first minted coins – they will be auctioned to numismatists – Prof. Umar Vadillo, CEO of Kelantan Golden Trade, state company in charge of implementing the Shariah currency in the state of Kelantan, said: “This is the first time in the last 100 years when an Islamic government minted dinars and dirhams in such a large denomination range. And these coins are also unique because they are minted in accordance with the new standard of WIM, it has improved design and security features. The arrival of these coins mark the end of 100-year old Darurah of tolerating the injustice of paper money, from now on Darurah is over, at least for people in Kelantan”.

“These coins are of the highest quality among all dinars and dirhams I have seen so far. Now we are confident to offer to public the circulation coins of top standard and hope they’ll realize that this is the real money. In fact the demand for these coins even before they arrived was so high that I see no problem in marketing them; what I am looking at is the next step – creation of merchants network that will accept dinar&dirham from public as payment for goods and services”, - said Mohamad Faisal Mohamad Nor, the Founder and Director of Nubex Sdn Bhd. Nubex company will be the sole distributor of the new Kelantan dinars and dirhams in Kuala Lumpur, they would also provide safe-keeping service at the cheapest rate.

"The liberation of Muslims in Palestine, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Pattani, Mindanao, Sulu is starting now, from Kelantan! No more blaming others, we have to turn to Allah and His Deen!" - said Captain Hajj Awaludin Mohal, honorary advisor of Muamalah Council Malaysia.

Among many people being happy and excited this morning one woman was very quiet, she had feelings that no one could possibly have: for her this historic morning of June,8 was the confirmation of the formula “La Hawla wa la Quwwata illa Billah” with which she started this whole journey back in 2005 when she single-handedly proposed the introduction of Gold Dinar to the government of Kelantan. It was often a lonely journey – a little woman trod a path which nobody walked through before. But she kept on going and going as she believed the journey itself is worthwhile regardless its outcome. It is because of the Taqwa of this one woman that the Sunna Money has now arrived to Kelantan. Madam NIK MAHANI MOHAMAD, you will be remembered by generation after generation as the one who lit up the first candle in the complete darkness of Malaysia.

Akademi Muamalah Sdn Bhd and Muamalah Council of Malaysia in the person of the chairman Hajj Umar Azmon Amir Hassan congratulates Hajjiah Nik Mahani and through her the government and people of Kelantan with this achievement in the process of eradicating Riba. May Allah bless you and grant you total success in this world and the next. Amin.

The Government of Kelantan will have a soft launch on Friday, 11th June and will hold the proper launching ceremony of the new coins next month, July* - the event will be open for public and attended by many guests from all over Malaysia and overseas. Muamalah Council Malaysia will inform you about the date and program of the event soonest possible.

Get ready to travel to Kota Bharu in July* and witness the History which your grandchildren will ask you about.
