Malaysia First Commemorative Coin with Sapphire Stone Inserts

Today received the Poslaju parcel send from Bank Negara Malaysia for the commemorative coin that I ordered from their website, this commemorative coin is issued in conjunction with the 25th Anniversary of the Labuan Services Authority (LFSA). The details of the issuance of this coin can be found in the BNM official website link here.

One interesting fact is this is the first time that Bank Negara Malaysia had issued a numismatic coin that have a sapphire stone inserts on it. The stone is marking the location of the capital city for Labuan Island which us Victoria or sometimes in call Bandar Labuan, the history of the Bandar Victoria can be found in the Wikipedia link here.
