Ever thought of alternative investments which are legal tenders in the country? This is an event not to be missed whether you are a collector or not yet a collector. If you are a collector, register soonest and get ready to bid and win some of these collectibles on auction. On auction will be 76 pieces of commemorative banknotes issued in conjunction with the 60th Anniversary of the Signing of the Federation of Malaya Independence Agreement. Yes, it’s a RM600 note which meant that this is already a piece of rare note. Since this is a legal tender, it’s even possible to bring it to some supermarkets and buy groceries with it. Well, that is as soon as you have won a piece. Come and see it for yourself.
For the coin collectors, there would be an auction for a total of 195 pieces of gold commemorative coins issued in conjunction with the Installation of His Majesty Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong XV will be auctioned. The reserve price starts from RM4,000 per piece. These coins would also have serial numbers which meant that each piece would be special in its own way. When we look at gold commemorative coins, one of the famous ones would be the 1971 issued Tunku Abdul Rahman 100 ringgit coin which is now worth at least RM25,000. (According to this numismatics site) . No one knows what would be the value of these rare coins in the future. Get one and perhaps leave it for the next generation as a gift from this generation?
