The chinese daily Kwong Wah Yit Poh had published an article on Malaysian numismatics on coins and banknotes and i was featured in the article with the 1976 Conservation series the Malayan Tapir/Cipan Proof gold coin.
However the market price was "mis-quoted" for this "Perfect" score gold coin grade as PF70 by NGC.
On 5th January 2015 a similar coin with the same grade was auctioned by Heritage Auctions House
in New York ended with the hammer price of USD17,625.00.
Heritage Auction 5th Jan 2015
The proof version gold coin has a mintage of 508pcs and 2894pcs for Brilliant Uncirculated version respectively.
