The design features a stylised human profile surrounded by checkboxes, tick marks and other audit-related graphical elements. These elements represent governance, accountability and transparency, as well as the department’s role in safeguarding public trust through independent auditing. The geometric patterns reflect the systematic and meticulous processes that support effective public sector oversight. The modern visual treatment reflects the department’s continued evolution over 120 years of service to the nation.

Reverse – The reverse features the denomination ‘10 RINGGIT’ for sterling silver and ‘1 RINGGIT’ for Nordic gold, together with the inscription ‘BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA’ along the coin’s rim. The design is centred around interwoven lines arranged in a ribbon-like form, representing continuity, integrity and progress. The curves reflect the interconnected nature of sound governance, accountability and sustainable national development.

2. KWSP75

Positioned above is the EPF logo, signifying members’ trust and confidence in the EPF’s stewardship in safeguarding and managing their retirement savings.

Reverse – The reverse features the official EPF 75^th anniversary logo at the centre, surrounded by geometric patterns radiating outwards. The flowing patterns represent the growth of members’ savings and EPF’s role in supporting Malaysians’ financial well-being.
