| Additional information |
Issued to mark the inauguration of the new federal administrative buildings in Kuala Lumpur, this commemorative falls within the reign of the ninth Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Azlan Shah of Perak, who ascended the throne in 1989. Malaysia's elective monarchy rotates the position among nine hereditary Malay rulers on five-year terms — a constitutional arrangement unique in the modern world — making any regnal commemorative inherently tied to a specific dynastic house rather than a continuous crown.
The .925 fineness places it in line with Bank Negara's commemorative silver program of the late 1980s, which consistently used sterling-adjacent alloys rather than the finer .999 silver adopted by many contemporaries.
