The Second Series of Coins
The second series of coins for normal circulation was issued on 4 September 1989. The technical specifications of these coins were the same as for the first series, except that the one Ringgit of the second series was smaller in size and made of a copper-zinc-tin alloy.
The Malaysian traditional artefacts depicted on the reverse of the coin are as follows:
| Denomination | Artefact |
