This note belongs to the third series issued by Bank Negara Malaysia, a run that quietly marked the transition away from the heavily British-influenced aesthetics of the early independence issues. Thomas De La Rue had printed Malaysian currency since before independence, and by the early 1980s the relationship was well established — though domestic printing capacity through the Security Printing Branch was expanding and would eventually displace London as the production centre for lower denominations.
The 100 Ringgit is the highest denomination in P#24's series, which made it a natural target for counterfeiting pressure during the period. Security thread technology in early 1980s De La Rue production was still the embedded metallic strip rather than the windowed variants introduced later in the decade.
