Obverse – The top left corner features the words “50 TAHUN PENGHASILAN DUIT SYILING” in conjunction with 50 years of coin minting by the Kilang Wang. The numerals five and zero are styled to mimic the shape of two coins. The top right features the wau – a traditional moon-kite – with a floral motif, flying high across a trail of stars. This symbolises movement and progress, emblematic of Kilang Wang’s evolution over the years.

Reverse – The top centre features the text “BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA” to depict the issuing authority, followed by “5 RINGGIT” in the middle, representing its face value. These text elements are placed against a traditional background inspired by both the wau and a floral motif.
