Coin design
The design of the commemorative coins is as follows:
Obverse
The obverse depicts the image of a farmer gazing at a harvesting machine and a fertiliser drone, representative of LPP's contribution to modernising and increasing the productivity of agriculture in Malaysia. The image of a paddy plant (highlighted in colour on sterling silver coins only) is depicted on the lower half of the coin, symbolising fertile cultivation. These motifs draw inspiration from LPP’s vision to spearhead the transformation of various farmers' organisations in Malaysia, as well as to promote the development of competitive and productive farmers. The text “LEMBAGA PERTUBUHAN PELADANG” and “JUBLI EMAS” are also inscribed on the circumference.
Reverse
The right circumference of the coin features the text "BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA" to depict the issuing authority. The logo for LPP’s 50th anniversary (highlighted in colour on sterling silver coins only) is shown at the centre of the coin against the silhouette of various livestock. The text, either “1 RINGGIT” or "10 RINGGIT", is shown at the bottom of the coin, representing its face value.
