| Reverse description | The reverse displays a dynamic close-up composition of two hands engaged in a table tennis rally: one hand gripping a paddle poised to strike and the other hand releasing a ball above the table surface, all rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field. The design conveys motion and athletic tension in a bold, graphic style. The legend 'WORLD TEAM' arcs along the upper border, flanked by decorative stars, while 'TABLE TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPS 2016' continues around the lower periphery in incuse lettering. |

The 2016 World Team Table Tennis Championships were held in Kuala Lumpur — a deliberate bid by Malaysia to reassert itself as a regional host of major international sporting events following years of ceding such tournaments to China, Japan, and South Korea. Bank Negara's commemorative program for the event was modest, and this copper piece was the base-tier issue in what was a small series. At 130 grams and 60 millimeters, it is among the more physically substantial commemoratives in the modern Malaysian series, though copper was the utilitarian choice where silver dominated comparable issues from neighboring mints.
