1 Kyat Kyat

Security features: microprint,intaglio

This 1 Kyat note belongs to the Central Bank of Myanmar's post-1990 low-denomination series issued after the country's name change from Burma to Myanmar in 1989. The visible serial number prefix 'Z' (Z 6203022) is consistent with Myanmar replacement-note conventions, where 'Z' prefixes indicate replacement notes printed to replace damaged or defective notes from the main print run. The note features General Aung San, who appears on nearly all modern Myanmar banknotes as the preeminent national figure. The front depicts the iconic Karaweik Hall on Kandawgyi Lake, a symbol of Yangon and Myanmar's royal heritage, alongside traditional boat racing. Low-denomination notes like this 1 Kyat have largely been withdrawn from active circulation due to inflation and currency reforms, though they remain legal tender. The exact issue year cannot be determined from the visible features alone, but the design style and 'Central Bank of Myanmar' inscription place it in the 1990–present era. No known public serial-year encoding identified for this issuer.
