10 Malaysian Ringgit banknote (3rd series)

The 10 Malaysian Ringgit (3rd series) banknote reflects Malaysia’s transition into a modern, technology-driven nation while retaining strong national symbolism. Issued by Bank Negara Malaysia, this series is recognisable by its contemporary colour palette, advanced security features, and detailed illustrations highlighting transport, infrastructure, and economic progress.

On the front of the banknote, the right-hand side features a finely engraved portrait of Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia’s first Yang di-Pertuan Agong, wearing ceremonial attire with detailed royal insignia. The portrait is set against a warm orange and red background with layered geometric patterns and pixelated security motifs. The denomination “RM 10” appears prominently in red at the lower left, while “SEPULUH RINGGIT” is printed vertically along the right edge. A transparent window, micro-text elements, and colour-shifting security features are integrated into the design, reflecting the enhanced anti-counterfeiting measures of the third series.

The reverse of the banknote showcases a dynamic montage representing Malaysia’s transport and logistics sector. Dominating the design is a commercial aircraft in flight, angled diagonally across the note, symbolising international connectivity. Below and alongside it are a modern train and a cargo ship, illustrating land, air, and sea transportation. These elements are arranged within sweeping circular lines and abstract overlays in orange, yellow, and pink tones, giving the reverse a strong sense of movement and economic momentum. The denomination “RM 10” is clearly marked, with serial numbers printed vertically along the edge.
