The overall design is rendered in low relief against a flat field. |

| Additional information |
Malaysia's 5 sen coinage of this period outlasted several Yang di-Pertuan Agong — the rotating kingship cycling through the nine hereditary Malay rulers on five-year terms — meaning the dies were updated periodically to reflect the reigning monarch without altering the denomination's design architecture. The long production window of over two decades means date collectors encounter significant variation in mintage volumes across individual years, some of which remain poorly documented in secondary literature.
