Commemorative Coins of Establishment of SJAM

I have to get one of these set...Commemorative Coins in Conjunction with the Centennial of the Establishment of St. John Ambulance of Malaysia (SJAM). The commemorative coins were launched on June 24th, 2008 by YB Dato' Liow Tiong Lai, the Minister of Health in Kuala Lumpur. It is time to invest in gold & silver I think.

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.
