The gift set of three medallions have been exclusively designed for the staff of Bank Negara Malaysia in conjunction with the bank's 60th anniversary. On one side, the medallions feature the distinctive buildings occupied by the Bank throughout its decorated history, illustrating its journey and development over the last six decades. The other side features designs and motifs inspired by the three series of coins issued by the Bank since its establishment.
