| Reverse description | The reverse commemorates the 50th anniversary of coin minting by Kilang Wang, bearing the legend "50 TAHUN PENGHASILAN DUIT SYILING" in the upper left field. The numerals "50" are rendered in a stylised form mimicking the silhouette of two coins, serving as a visual reference to the mint's output. In the upper right, a traditional Malaysian wau (moon-kite) adorned with floral motifs is depicted soaring across a trail of stars, symbolising progress and the mint's evolution over five decades. The composition successfully integrates cultural symbolism with the commemorative theme. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Bank Negara Malaysia's ongoing polymer and commemorative circulation program, this copper piece honors the Wau Bulan — the crescent kite associated particularly with Kelantan, where it carries deep cultural and competitive significance. The "Kilang Wang Bank" designation marks it as a product of the national mint, Kilang Wang, established in Shah Alam in 1971 to reduce Malaysia's dependence on foreign minting contracts.
At 36.6 grams in near-pure copper, this is substantially heavier than standard circulation coinage — clearly intended for the collector market rather than the till.
