| Obverse description | The obverse displays a stylised 'CO-OP' logotype rendered as two interlocking infinity loops, symbolising the cooperative movement's contribution to national development. Each letter of the motif incorporates a small pictorial icon representing a distinct sector in which cooperatives have improved members' livelihoods. The design occupies the central field, executed in a modern graphic style against a plain background. The legend 'ULANG TAHUN KE-100 GERAKAN KOPERASI' arcs along the upper and lower periphery, commemorating the centenary of the cooperative movement in Malaysia. |

| Additional information |
The cooperative movement in Malaysia traces directly to 1922, when the British colonial administration established the first credit cooperatives to address rural debt among smallholder farmers — a structural problem that moneylenders had exploited for decades. Bank Negara issued this piece in 2022 to mark the centennial of that founding.
Nordic gold — the copper-aluminum-zinc-tin alloy used across much of the world for high-denomination circulation coinage — was selected here for a commemorative issue, which is unusual for Malaysian ringgit pieces of this face value.
