A Must Buy Item...!!!

        Just after the release of the Malaysian third series coin's every one has forgotten of the old 1990 second series coin's. I may predict that the price of it could get higher since it's a proof set too. All of u should at least get one set of it, any where it worth of getting one.

          It also has a nice quality, u can differentiated the color of the coint.

                                      U could see the picture above the color of the coin minted.
