MALAYSIA COMMEMORATIVE COINS

Collecting commemorative is all about mintages. However i find many of our own Malaysian commemorative coins and coins sets are too cheap to ignore ! Collectors doesn't realize the small mintage they carries versus the large pool of collectors in Malaysia and Singapore however i dont have the exact numbers of collectors for the two countries combined but given the fact that Malaysia's population of 28millions + Singapore's population of 6millions equal to 34millions. Assuming there are just 3% (percent) of collectors that work out to be 1.020million collectors for both countries combined.

The modern commemorative coins especially from 2003 to 2012 are extremely small in numbers issued by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM). The single gold have the least mintage of all then follow by set of 3 (comprises of gold+silver+nordic gold) and Set of 2 (silver & nordic gold) and lastly single proof silver coins.

Generally the numbers issued for single silver proof coins are between 200pcs to 350pcs and the Set of 2 are between 150sets to 300sets only. Many collectors were unhappy and complaint to BNM for not able to get them because of the small numbers issued. Thus from 2013 onwards BNM increases the mintage to 1000pcs for silver coins and 750sets for Set 2.

Furthermore in 2013 BNM start to introduce colored silver coin with full one ounce with pure .999 silver from previous 25gms of .925 silver. The issue price have also increased by RM50.00 for that reason.

However the Set of 2 and single proof silver coins are the favorites because they are more affordable and the jump are the most incredible on the secondary market.

2003 LIMA set 2 mintage 300sets. Single silver mintage 300pcs only.
