Coin design

The design of the commemorative coins is as follows:

Obverse

The coin's design concept is inspired by RISDA's critical mission, which was established to improve the socio-economic well-being of the rubber smallholder community in Malaysia. A rubber tapper is featured prominently on the front side of the coin. The top left of the coin depicts images of the other products by the smallholder community, brought to market with RISDA’s support through RisSMart. The silhouettes of a child and a graduate on the right side of the coin signify RISDA's efforts in human capital development.

Reverse

The name “BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA” as the issuing authority of the numismatic coins is shown on the right circumference of the coin and the face value of “10 RINGGIT” for sterling silver or “1 RINGGIT” for Nordic gold. The logo for RISDA’s 50th anniversary is featured on the top of the coin and is set against the background of a stylised depiction of a rubber tree trunk.
