| Reverse description | The reverse commemorates the 50th anniversary of coin minting by Kilang Wang, with the Malay inscription 50 TAHUN PENGHASILAN DUIT SYILING prominently displayed on the left. The numerals '5' and '0' are artistically styled to evoke the silhouette of two coins. The right portion of the field features an intricate motif of electronic circuitry and mechanical gears, representing technological progress and modernisation. The background is decorated with linear striations inspired by the gasing leper, a traditional Malay spinning top, conveying motion and speed. The composition as a whole celebrates five decades of Malaysian coin production within a design vocabulary that bridges heritage and innovation. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Bank Negara Malaysia's ongoing numismatic series celebrating Malaysian heritage and industry, this piece commemorates the Royal Mint of Malaysia — "Kilang Wang" — located in Shah Alam, Selangor. The mint has operated since 1971, producing coinage for Malaysia and numerous foreign contracts. The inclusion of a gasing, the traditional Malay spinning top, reflects a longstanding curatorial choice by Bank Negara to anchor modern commemoratives in pre-industrial cultural practice — a pointed contrast to the industrial subject being honored.
