COMMEMORATIVE COINS OF INSTALLATION OF HM YANG DI-PERTUAN AGONG
Issuance of Commemorative Coins in Conjunction with the Installation of His Majesty the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong XIV
Tomorrow; 28-06-2012,Bank Negara Malaysia is going to issue three types of commemorative coins in conjunction with the Installation of His Majesty Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong XIV Almu'tasimu Billahi Muhibbuddin Tuanku Alhaj Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah ibni AlMarhum Sultan Badlishah.
Since yesternight until ten minutes ago, I received many emails from my bloggers, facebook visitors and calls from fellow collectors wanted to know my opinion on what time they should be at Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) tomorrow morning in order to get a full set of the new release commemorative coins. A few of them had made a decision to reach BNM by six o'clock in the morning. Some of my numismatist friends in Seremban had went to sleep as early as 9.00pm. They just want to make sure they get their coins as early as possible.
They do not want to repeat the incident of 'Pandu Puteri' Commemorative coin when all stocks were sold out by noon on the same day.
I just pity to some collectors who told me that they might not be able to buy the silver or gold sets because they had spend their shoe-string budget last month to buy the 'Pandu Puteri' Commemorative coins.The release of "Agong" commemorative coins are "too close" for comfort!
The commemorative coins are legal tender and the specifications are as follows:
Gold Commemorative Coin (proof):
This proof coin is made of gold with 999.9 purity and weighs 7.96 grams. It has a face value of RM100 and will be sold at RM1,800 a piece. The mintage quantity is limited to 500 pieces.

Nordic Gold Brilliant Uncirculated (B.U) Commemorative Coin:
The Nordic Gold (B.U) coin has a face value of RM1 and will be sold at RM10 each. The mintage quantity is 15,000 pieces.

I think the best time to go there is 6-7am, i think should able to get since the quantity issue is consider a lot and with gold coin issue as well.
ReplyDeletefor pandu putri, no gold coin issue so all people go for silver and hence stock finish very fast.
In PG, people start to queue overnight from 10pm onwards if have any coin issue due to quntity distribute to PG is less compare to KL.
really feel like crying after getting the coin. 3 hour is like 3 year over there
ReplyDeleteHi Green Tea ,
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my Blog.
Today in BNM KL, the 3 in 1 sold out at 10.00am,2 in 1 was out of stock at 10.30am and by 11.15 am the single silver finished.
We still consider we are more lucky than PG !Collectors gather around 5.30am.
Hi Ghost Lim Hooi Yew,
ReplyDeleteAfter 3 hours of waiting,I just got for myself 5 sets of nordic gold!
i just couldn't understand why the low mintage. 600 pieces of silver proof is just too low, which is why i'm staying away from it.
ReplyDeleteSam
Hi Dickson,
ReplyDeleteI always visiting your blog but just not giving any comment, so you not relize it.. hahaha...
Btw, this time i do not queue at BNM PG as i am busy that day. normally i will queue very early. today news from kwongwah mention people in PG queue at 6pm wednesday. wow.. look like the trend same as buying house at PG for limitted quantity.
however, the gold issue is a lot if compare to last time 100-200 units only. This time got 500 units for grab. Gold coin expensive a bit compare last time gold proof. last time gold proof just rm1200-1400, now rm 1800.
Hi Sam,
ReplyDeleteScarcity is always the key word in numismatics,you shouldn't stayed away,instead you should stay put to enjoy good returns.

Good Afternoon Mr Dickson,
ReplyDeleteLast Thurs.was a moment to savour.Had came up fr Mka to queue for d new AGONG commemorative coins.Fr BNM train station was walking towards d building when a police officer advised to try at another block further up passing the TUN HUSSEIN MEMORIAL.
A long of people were already there. Aft 3hrs queue managed to buy d 3 in 1 set n 5 pcs rm1 nordic gold.
Observations:
1.think more than 70% present are not collectors but rather runners. A'chief'was seen handing out RM notes to them
2.some who had purchased at d main BNM bldg came in for a 2nd try.
3.perhaps a counter for senior citizens be open.
Have a pleasant day.
