Bank Negara Issues Special Edition Commemorative Coins Honoring Malaysia’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites

Bank Negara Malaysia has announced the issuance of six limited-edition commemorative coins themed 'Malaysia's Treasures to the World.' The collection features the nation’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the archaeological wonders of the Lenggong Valley and the prehistoric Niah Caves Complex in Sarawak.

The designs on the obverse of the coins depict iconic landmarks such as A Famosa in Melaka and Fort Cornwallis in George Town, representing the historical and sacred architecture that defines Malaysia's cultural heritage. The initiative is intended to foster national pride and awareness of the country’s significant contributions to global human history and archaeological research.
