In our coming Malaysia Numismatic Society Auction No.156  which to be held on 30th June 2013 at Museum Negara, Kuala Lumpur, they is a piece of Bank Negara Malaysia's (BNM) Money Museum very rare token was listed for auction.

This Money Museum Token was issued to commemorate the officially opening of the Exhibition of Trade Currency of the Malay Archipelago, Money Museum of Bank Negara Malaysia on 18th May 1995  by Y.B.Datin Sri Dr. Wan Azizah binti Dato' Wan Ismail.



This token was mistaken for gold token, actually it was minted on a highly polished brass planchet. This was confirmed by Puan Rohaya, the chief curator of Money Museum BNM.
In Malaysia Numismatic Socity Auction 154, on 23-12-2012, it was bidded for RM1000.


In my survey, so far there are only three pieces known to exist.One piece was located by me in Singapore and two pieces in Malaysia ,so this is a rare Money Museum BNM's VVIP token.

RSP:RM1000
