The Non-Aligned Movement summit held in Kuala Lumpur in February 2003 was the 13th such conference, bringing together over 100 member states at a politically charged moment — the United States was weeks away from invading Iraq, and NAM members were sharply divided over how to respond. Malaysia under Mahathir Mohamad used the hosting role aggressively, with Mahathir delivering pointed criticism of Western unilateralism to an audience that included heads of state from Cuba, Zimbabwe, and Iran.
Nordic gold — the same copper-aluminum-zinc-tin alloy used in Euro coins — was an uncommon choice for Malaysian commemoratives at the time.
