| Comments |
Bank Negara Malaysia's third series — of which this is a part — was introduced during a period of significant economic expansion for the country, and De La Rue produced the notes to a specification that remained largely unchanged for a decade. The longevity of this issue is notable; few series in the region ran so cleanly across that particular stretch of Southeast Asian monetary history without a mid-run redesign forced by counterfeiting pressure or political change.
The security thread on P#31 is a plain embedded type, predating the windowed and demetallized threads De La Rue would integrate into later Malaysian issues. By the early 1990s this was already considered a relatively modest security package for a note of this denomination.
