| Additional information |
The 25th anniversary being commemorated here is that of the republic itself — the Maldives abolished its sultanate on November 11, 1968, ending a monarchy that had survived, with one brief interruption, since the 12th century. The transition was largely peaceful, driven by a 1968 referendum that returned a republican result, though the islands had technically been a republic once before between 1953 and 1954 before the sultanate was hastily restored.
KM#94 was struck in a small authorized mintage typical of Maldivian commemorative gold from this period, produced primarily for the collector market rather than circulation.
