Front

Kuala Lumpur Railway Station, built between 1910-1917 in British Raj Mogul style architecture, designed by Arthur Benison Hubback. The station features distinctive Indo-Saracenic design with minarets, domes, and Moorish arches, combining Eastern and Western architectural traditions. It served as the main railway hub of Kuala Lumpur until KL Sentral opened in 2001. The station is accompanied by the national flower, hibiscus rosa-sinensis (Bunga Raya), Malaysia's national floral emblem.

Back

Yang di-Pertuan Agong (Supreme Head of State), the constitutional monarch of Malaysia. The position rotates every five years among the nine hereditary Malay state rulers. The portrait depicts the monarch wearing traditional royal regalia and headdress. The text 'SATU RINGGIT' denotes one Malaysian ringgit in the Malay language, reflecting Malaysia's constitutional framework established at independence in 1957.

History

Fourth series Bank Negara Malaysia notes, issued 1989-1999, replaced the third series and preceded the introduction of polymer notes. This design was printed by Thomas De La Rue (as indicated on the front). The series featured the Yang di-Pertuan Agong portrait on all denominations with various Malaysian landmarks on the obverse. The Kuala Lumpur Railway Station was chosen for the 10 ringgit note as a symbol of Malaysia's development and infrastructure modernization. These notes were gradually withdrawn from circulation starting in 1999 when the fifth series was introduced. Serial number AK1308784 indicates a standard production note with prefix 'AK'. No documented serial-year encoding is known for Bank Negara Malaysia fourth series notes; year attribution relies on documented series circulation period.
