The P#21 series was Malaysia's third post-independence definitive issue, and the 10 Ringgit note from this short 1983–84 run was replaced relatively quickly as Bank Negara moved toward updated security specifications. Thomas De La Rue had printed Malaysian currency since independence, making them essentially the default supplier for the country through this period.
Notes from this issue are occasionally found with a pronounced blue security thread shift — not an error per se, but a positioning variance during manufacture that collectors have documented across multiple specimens.
