It is worth visiting the Royal Mint, about 30 minutes outside of Kuala Lumpur, just to see the spread of coins they have :)

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Maryam reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say: "A time is certainly coming over mankind in which there will be nothing [left] which will be of use save a dinar and a dirham." (The Musnad of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal)

The Islamic Dinar is a specific weight of 22k gold equivalent to 4.25 grammes.

According to Islamic Law... The Islamic Dinar is a specific weight of 22k gold (917.) equivalent to 4.25 grams. Umar Ibn al-Khattab established the known standard relationship between them based on their weights: "7 dinars must be equivalent to 10 dirhams." "The Revelation undertook to mention them and attached many judgements to them, for example zakat, marriage, and hudud, etc., therefore within the Revelation they have to have a reality and specific measure for assessment [of zakat, etc.] upon which its judgements may be based rather than on the non-shari'i [other coins]. Know that there is consensus [ijma] since the beginning of Islam and the age of the Companions and the Followers that the dirham of the shari'ah is that of which ten weigh seven mithqals [weight of the dinar] of gold. . . The weight of a mithqal of gold is seventy-two grains of barley, so that the dirham which is seven-tenths of it is fifty and two-fifths grains. All these measurements are firmly established by consensus." Ibn Khaldun, Al-Muqaddimah

The History of Kelantanese Currency

Between 1400 to 1780, a number of gold coins or Kupang were known to be minted for used in Patani and Kelantan. Unfortunately, little is known about the history of Kelantan coinage as these coins were not
dated, except for the gold Kupang with the inscription “Al Julus Kelantan”, which were issued after 1780. The Kelantan-Patani gold coins which were on display in the Museum were only minted in one denomination, namely a Kupang, which contained approximately 9 grains
of gold. There were three types of Kelantan gold coins: the Kijang coins, the Dinar Matahari or Sun coins, and coins with Arabic inscriptions on both sides. The Kijang coins derived their name from the motif of the Malayan barking deer or Kijang embossed as the obverse design. This motif is used as the logo of Bank Negara Malaysia.

Several types of tin pitis, which were cast in the form of “coin
trees” were also issued. The tin coin trees were produced by the use of moulds adapted from those used by the Chinese to cast copper coins. The coins were broken off from their branches to be used as cash, and the unused metal of the tree was then re-smelted in the next casting. All issues of Kelantan local coinage were discontinued in 1909 when the Straits Settlements coinage was introduced.

The Kelantanese dinar was first struck in 2006 by Mariwasa Kraftangan, a local producer of souvenirs and copies of objects of art and culture. The Government of the Malaysian state of Kelantan attempted to give the dinar a legal tender status, but this was vetoed by the federal Malaysian government in Kuala Lumpur. The dinar has now been privately issued, albeit without a legal tender status. The only currency that is legal tender in Kelantan is the Malaysian ringgit. According to the Malaysian constitution, ninth schedule, list I sub 7.a the states of Malaysia do not have the right to issue coins.

The coins have a metallic composition of 22 carat gold. There are 3 denominations - 1/4,1/2, and 1 dinar.

Canadian Maple Leaf gold coins
Introduced in 1973, the Canadian Maple Leaf gold coins are a favourite with global investors. The Canadian Maple Leaf gold coins are stucked by the Royal Canadian Mint, the Canadian Maple Leaf gold coins are valued for their portability, liquidity, and purity - guaranteed by the Government of Canada.

American Eagle gold coins
The American Eagle gold coins are official gold bullion coins of the United States. Authorised under the Gold Bullion Act of 1985, these coins were first released by the United States Mint in 1986. Unlike the Canadian Maple Leaf gold coins, the American Eagle gold coins are made with an additional alloy of silver and copper to produce a more wear-resistant coin of .91670 fine gold. The American Eagle gold coins are backed by the United States Mint for their weight and content.

Australian Kangaroo gold nuggets
Minted by the Perth Mint, the Australian Kangaroo gold nuggets are one of the few legal tender bullion gold coins to change their design every year, another being the China Gold Panda. This and their limited annual mintage may, unlike other bullion coins, raise their numismatic value over the value of their gold content. Unlike the other three bullion gold coins offered by UOB, the Australian Kangaroo gold nuggets are available in denominations of 1/20 ounce, 1/10 ounce, 1/4 ounce, 1/2 ounce, 1 ounce, 2 ounce, 10 ounce, and 1 kilogram.

Singapore Lion gold bullion coins
The Singapore Lion gold bullion coins are minted by the Singapore Mint, issued since 1991. Each coin bears the design of a majestic roaring lion’s head on the reverse and the Singapore Arms on the obverse. The Singapore Lion gold bullion are cherished for their limited mintage and may have the chance to raise their numismatic value over the value of their gold content in future.

Are you spoilt for choice and don’t know which bullion coin to buy? Here’s a quick tip for you. If you are looking for the highest purity of gold, choose the Canadian Maple Leaf gold coins. For toughness and durability (though I believe you will keep your coins in a safe environment), pick the American Eagle gold coins. If you are looking at higher chances of numismatic value for your bullion coins, pick either the Australian Kangaroo nuggets or the Singapore Lion.
