1 Ringgit - Agong XIV Girl Guiding

Bank Negara issued this commemorative ringgit to mark the centenary of the Girl Guides movement in Malaysia, which traces its founding to 1916 under British colonial administration. Nordic gold — a copper-aluminum-zinc-tin alloy — has been Malaysia's material of choice for commemorative base-metal issues since the mid-2000s, favored for its resistance to toning and its convincing gold-like appearance in hand.
