The history of Sarawak would make a good movie. Lots of drama. I seem to recall reading elsewhere that James Brooke's "intercession" was at the helm of a gunboat. But I may be wrong.

Italian copper coins of the early 20th century have, to me, quite an appeal. I really like the image of a bee on a flower on the back of the 10 centesimi coin. Your Italian coin was issued to commemorate the "50th anniversary of Kingdom". It was a circulation strike. Like the coin you posted, the bee one looks like a sculpture too.
Don't know much about the Albanian coin or the WWI medal. Nice though.
