Copper Commemorative Coin (proof) – Congkak -shaped

Obverse - The left corner features the words “50 TAHUN PENGHASILAN DUIT SYILING” to commemorate 50 years of coin minting by Kilang Wang. The numerals five and zero are styled to mimic the shape of two coins. Against a textured background resembling a mengkuang mat are seven images and motifs from the various series of coins issued by Kilang Wang over the years – the Parliament Building from the first coin series; the wau, rebana and gasing from the second coin series; and Mah Meri motif and sulur kacang from the third coin series.

Reverse - On this side of the coin which is made to look like a congkak board, the left storehouse features the text “BANK NEGARAMALAYSIA” to depict the issuing authority, while the right storehouse features the text “5 RINGGIT” representing its face value. The middle features two rows of congkak houses containing marbles with frosted tones designed to reveal an optical illusion of the digits“50”, signifying 50 years of coin minting by Kilang Wang.
