Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a Malayan tiger, which is now an extinct subspecies of tiger, on the reverse side. This design was only used on coins minted between 1954 and 1961, making it a rare and collectible coin among numismatists.
