| Additional information |
Bank Negara issued this ringgit in 2008 to mark the centenary of St. John Ambulance in Malaysia, whose origins trace to the establishment of the first brigade division in the Federated Malay States in 1908. The organization expanded significantly under British colonial administration, providing first aid at rubber estates and tin mines where industrial accidents were routine and medical infrastructure was thin.
KM#191 is one of several commemorative ringgit pieces struck in aluminium bronze during this period, a format Malaysia used frequently enough that secondary market premiums remain modest for most types in this series.
