| Obverse description | The Malaysian coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting the national shield supported by two rampant tigers, with a crescent moon and fourteen-pointed star above. The shield bears the emblems of the Malaysian states in detailed relief, with a scroll at the base inscribed with the national motto. The legend 'BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA' curves along the upper periphery, flanked by the dates '1957' at left and '2007' at right. The denomination '1 RINGGIT' appears in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 50th anniversary of Malaysian independence, this coin appeared during the reign of Yang di-Pertuan Agong XIII, Mizan Zainal Abidin, who had ascended to the throne just months earlier in January 2007 following the death of Sirajuddin of Perlis. The 50th Merdeka anniversary prompted an unusually broad commemorative program across multiple denominations, with Bank Negara coordinating releases timed precisely to August 31st.
Aluminium bronze was retained from the circulating ringgit series, meaning many examples entered general commerce rather than being set aside — survivors in unimpaired condition are less common than the mintage might suggest.
