| Obverse description | Central motif depicts a Malayan tapir (Tapirus indicus) in right-facing profile, rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail showing the animal's distinctive robust body, short legs, and characteristic proboscis. The tapir is positioned within a recessed circular field, occupying the majority of the coin's face. The surrounding field is plain and unlettered, consistent with a matrix or die trial piece not intended for circulation. The irregular flan edges and absence of a complete rim are characteristic of a trial striking produced to test hub or die relief. The overall style reflects the preparatory work associated with the Royal Mint's development of the 1967 Malaysian sen series. |
