St.John Ambulance of Malaysia 100th years

Issuance of Commemorative Coins in Conjunction with the Centennial of the Establishment of St.John Ambulance of Malaysia (SJAM)

This is my first proof set that I bought from BNM. Set of 2 consists of silver and Nordic gold proof coins and only 200 sets available.


Coin Design
The design description of the commemorative coins to mark the Centennial the establishment of St.John Ambulance of Malaysia (SJAM) is as follows:


The Obverse Side of the Coin
The obverse of the coin depicts the SJAM's volunteers providing emergency medical assistance to members of the public. The name "St.John Ambulans Malaysia " appears on the upper circumference of the coin, whilst the official motto of SJAM "Perkhidmatan Bagi Manusia" or "Service to Mankind" appears on the lower circumference.

The Reverse Side of the Coin

The reverse depicts the official emblem of SJAM at the centre of the coin. A plant with yellow flowers "St.John's Wort", an herb used for wounds, burns, insect bites and as a treatment for malaria, is depicted encircling the lower half of the emblem. The upper circumference shows the words "Ulang Tahun Ke-100" signifying 100 years of SJAM's existence whilst the words "BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA" as the issuing authority appear on the lower circumference. The denomination is reflected on the lower centre of the coin.
