1 Ringgit (front) / 10 Ringgit (back) MYR #327

Front

Traditional Malaysian wau bulan (moon kite) depicted in ornate floral patterns, accompanied by figures flying kites on the beach. The wau bulan is a traditional Malaysian kite from the states of Kelantan and Terengganu, recognised as a national symbol and featured on the logo of Malaysia Airlines; kite flying is a cherished cultural tradition in northeastern Malaysia. This is the 1 Ringgit denomination from Malaysia's sixth polymer series.

Back

Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King of Malaysia) wearing traditional royal regalia including the tengkolok (royal headgear) and ceremonial attire. The Yang di-Pertuan Agong is Malaysia's constitutional monarch, elected for five-year terms from among the nine hereditary state rulers. The reverse also depicts traditional Malaysian crafts including weaving and basketry, representing the country's rich artisan heritage. This is the 10 Ringgit denomination.

History

These images show MISMATCHED DENOMINATIONS — the front appears to be a 1 Ringgit note (RM1 visible, serial AG7028321) while the back is from a 10 Ringgit note ($10 visible, serial VH064574, different format). Both belong to Malaysia's sixth series of polymer banknotes introduced in 1998, which replaced the fifth series paper notes. The sixth series was designed with advanced security features and polymer substrate for durability. Each denomination features the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on the obverse and distinct Malaysian cultural or natural heritage themes on the reverse. The 1 Ringgit note specifically highlights traditional kite culture, while the 10 Ringgit showcases royal portraiture and traditional crafts. Bank Negara Malaysia has issued multiple signature variants within this series as different governors have served. The polymer notes remain legal tender as of 2024.
