| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, naturalistic effigy of a Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) seated amid a nest of broad tropical leaves, one arm raised and grasping a branch. The finely engraved fur texture conveys the animal's distinctive shaggy coat. The curved legend 'ENDANGERED SPECIES SERIES' arcs along the upper field. Below the central motif, the common name 'ORANG UTAN' appears above the scientific designation 'ORANG UTAN • PONGO PYGMAEUS' inscribed along the lower border in Latin script. |

This issue belongs to the Malaysian Wildlife series circulated under the twelfth Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Syed Sirajuddin, who ascended to the throne in December 2001. Malaysia's 25 sen coins had been brass-clad steel for years prior, making this solid brass composition a minor but trackable distinction for type collectors working this series.
