The 1986 PATA Conference — Pacific Asia Travel Association — was held in Kuala Lumpur, and Bank Negara issued this commemorative to mark Malaysia's role as host. Yang di-Pertuan Agong VIII refers to Mahmood Iskandar of Johor, who held the rotating kingship from 1984 to 1989 under Malaysia's unique elective monarchy system, in which the rulers of the nine Malay states take turns occupying the throne in five-year terms.
The .500 silver fineness was characteristic of Malaysian commemoratives of this period, keeping production costs manageable while retaining the prestige of a silver issue.
