Kelantanese dinar

Impressed by the Islamic Mint concept, the Kelantanese dinar is a currency that was created by the Government of the Malaysian state of Kelantan in 2006 (27 Shaban 1427 AH corresponds to 20th Sep 2006). The currency code was decided as KED. The Kelantanese Government attempted to give the dinar a legal tender status, but this was vetoed by the federal Malaysian government in Kuala Lumpur. Interestingly, the dinar has now been issued, albeit, without a legal tender status. The only currency that is legal tender in Kelantan is the Malaysian ringgit.




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