I wonder if it has to do with India's independence? Just like the Canadian coins with the Maple leaf.

interesting idea .. i think this coin was minted in Birmingham UK ? was the Canadian ones. also i think the mint mark on the I coins is below the bust near the rim ?

I'd say that this is not going to be anything desirable unless you can get the masses of Malaya collectors to care. You'll have to convince Krause to put that in their catalog and I don't see that happening.

 

Generally, don't those random dots usually form from some sort of foreign object that has fallen on the die? (shrug)
