10 Ringgit MYS Banknote (2012–2022 Series) 2011

10 Ringgit Ringgit (Issued 2011)

Embedded within the 10 Ringgit note of the 2012–2022 series is a windowed security thread that runs vertically through the left-centre portion of the note, shifting colour under different lighting conditions as part of Bank Negara Malaysia’s anti-counterfeiting strategy. A watermark portrait, visible when the note is held to the light, is incorporated into the paper substrate, reinforcing the note’s integrity alongside electrotype watermark numerals. The polymer-adjacent polymer-paper hybrid construction of this series was designed to enhance durability and resist counterfeiting, reflecting Bank Negara Malaysia’s commitment to maintaining public confidence in the Ringgit during the period of issue.

On the front, the dominant feature is a formal portrait of Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah, the 14th and 16th King of Malaysia, rendered in fine intaglio engraving to the right of centre. He is depicted wearing the traditional royal songkok headwear adorned with a decorative star motif, his likeness presented with precise tonal gradation characteristic of high-quality intaglio printing. The overall colour scheme of the obverse is a warm salmon-pink and red, overlaid with intricate guilloché latticework that fills the background across the width of the note. To the left of centre, a large and botanically detailed illustration of the hibiscus — Malaysia’s national flower — is printed in vivid red and blue, its petals and stamens rendered with considerable precision. The issuing authority’s name, “BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA,” is printed in clear serif typography across the upper portion of the note, whilst the denomination “10” appears prominently in large red numerals at the centre-left and the currency identification “RINGGIT MALAYSIA” is printed in bold red lettering along the lower-right margin. The alphanumeric denomination “RM 10” appears in the upper-right corner. A signature panel bearing the name “GABENOR” is printed in cursive beneath the central design, along with the legal tender declaration “WANG KERTAS INI SAH DIPERLAKUKAN DENGAN NILAI” in Malay text along the lower portion. Along the far left edge, a colour-shifting ink element in teal and orange is visible, serving as an additional overt security feature, while a series of black security dashes — part of the embedded security thread — are visible running vertically near the left-centre field.

The reverse of the note is dominated by a richly detailed depiction of the Rafflesia, one of the world’s largest flowers and a celebrated natural emblem of the Malaysian rainforest. The bloom is rendered in deep red and crimson intaglio engraving, its distinctive mottled, textured surface and circular central opening reproduced with considerable botanical accuracy. To the right of the primary Rafflesia image, a second, lighter impression of the same flower appears in yellow and pale gold watermark-style printing, creating a layered visual effect that also serves a security function when examined against light. The serial number “AA0015115” is printed twice — once horizontally across the upper-centre portion of the reverse and once vertically along the left margin — in dark red numerals with clear, consistent typographic spacing. The Bank Negara Malaysia name is rendered in Arabic-Jawi script in the upper field, and a small red emblem featuring a stylised stag appears in a circular cartouche at the upper-left corner. The denomination “RM 10” is printed in red within the lower-centre area beneath the Rafflesia illustration, and the words “رينڬيت مليسيا” (Ringgit Malaysia in Jawi script) appear along the lower-right margin. The background of the reverse carries the same warm salmon-pink base tone as the obverse, with a repeating geometric border pattern running along all four edges.
