I spent 2 years in Brunei. If that coin is real (1304) there are people there that would pay a lot, as they trace the Sultanate back to then. I have my doubts though if they used the European years on the coins back in those days or wrote in English ( I see the Arabic on the back). The first Sultan is recorded as being in 1368. Maybe 1804?

"Looks Real" LOL; don't think its one that would want to be replicated but who the hell knows nowadaysn, i googled 1304 and it said 1882? not sure exactly what year it comes to since i dont know too much about arabic years. but i did see that one that was quite rare and pricey

This is from wiki
"The last Sultan to issue his own coin was Sultan Hashim who issued the "star coin"[9] in 1886 (printed as AH 1304 on the coin) which was minted in Birmingham, England.[6] These coins were bronze and have on the obverse a star inside a circle with an Arabic inscription outside. The reverse has a "1" inside a circle with "SULTANATE OF BRUNEI 1304".
