| Additional information |
Bank Negara Malaysia was established only in 1959, and the 1967 coinage series represented the first truly independent Malaysian issue after the dissolution of the Board of Commissioners of Currency Malaya and British Borneo. Matrix and die trials for this series were produced to test relief depth and planchet flow before authorizing full production runs — surviving examples in silver are almost certainly struck on off-specification or test planchets rather than the cupro-nickel used for circulation. The composition here almost certainly reflects that experimental stage rather than a minting error in the conventional sense.
