| Additional information |
Historical Context: Issued in 2024 under the reign of Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim, this 1 Ringgit coin commemorates the Golden Jubilee of the Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Authority (RISDA). Established in 1973, RISDA has been instrumental in uplifting the socio-economic status of Malaysia's rubber smallholders, a sector vital to the nation's agricultural economy. This commemorative issue underscores the government's recognition of RISDA's five decades of contributions to rural development and sustainable cultivation practices.
Artistry: The design, typically executed by Bank Negara Malaysia's internal design team, adheres to a modern commemorative stylistic school. The obverse invariably features the Malaysian national emblem, the Coat of Arms (Jata Negara), signifying national sovereignty, alongside the denomination '1 Ringgit'. The reverse design would prominently display the RISDA Golden Jubilee logo, likely incorporating elements representative of the rubber industry, such as a rubber tree or a tapping knife, surrounded by celebratory text marking its 50th anniversary.
Technical/Grading: Struck in Nordic gold (Cu89 Zn5 Al5 Sn1) with a weight of 8.5 grams and a diameter of 30 mm, the coin exhibits characteristics typical of modern precision minting. High-points for grading include the intricate details of the Jata Negara on the obverse, particularly the tigers' heads and the star and crescent, and any fine lines within the jubilee logo on the reverse. Collectors should seek a sharp strike, full detail on the reeded edge, and minimal contact marks, especially on the fields, common even in uncirculated examples.
