It was issued in the year of 1999 by the then governor Ali Abul Hassan of Malaysia. Fake numismatics items will emerge be it coins or paper money once the price is high and just becareful of what you buy especially those ungraded ones. There are many high quality fake items emerged in the market and you can't hardly tell the differences unless you're very well verse in knowledge because of the availability of high tech equipment to make them.
These are the screen shots taken from MUDAH Malaysia another e-commerce platform (similar to ebay) from the seller's page. He/She was selling these fake "CR" solid # 4 and low number # 8.
The genuine serial number was issued from CR 7200000 to CR 7250000 and there were 50,000 pieces issued unintentionally by Bank Negara Malaysia and released to commercial banks for circulation but were too late to retrieve back from the public. It was reported the bank released the CR was from Bukit Mertajam, Penang.
It is wiser to buy graded coins/banknotes to eliminate any doubts you might have in your collections.
This will be my last post before Hari Raya Puasa and i would like to wish all my muslim friends "SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI" on 28th & 29th July 2014 and drive safe during "balik kampung" and to those non muslim friends "HAPPY HOLIDAY" !
Happy reading.
Andrew
