I'm interested in the ones produced by the Islamic Mint (which is, I think, in Dubai).
I'm also interested in some of the ones produced in Kelantan (a State in Malaysia).
Does anyone know where I can find examples of these coins, in real life?

PS: Thanks to all who have answered, so far. Unfortunately, none of these sources are in possession of the coins I am seeking.
FYI, the Kelantan coin I'm talking about was introduced in September 2006, and is sold by the Ar-Rahn pawn shops in Malaysia. But I don't see an English web-site for them. And my contacts with the Bank Negara, in Malaysia, have gone unanswered. Bank Negara sells the Kijang Emas one-ounce bullion coin.

Also try a search for Steve Album. He is the preeminent Islamic coin expert in America, (maybe the best in the world). He has regular stock of all Islamic coins, and periodically publishes lists. He also goes to most major coin shows, so maybe there will be one near you that you can see his stock in person if you would like. He is from California.

A couple of other dealers to try...Civitas Galleries in Wisconsin...also Harlan J Berk in Chicago. Also go to the site islamicmint.com...they have some info about the coins...since they are fairly recent, it may take a while before they are available in the US. Hope this info helped
