The Bank Negara Malaysia issued 1 Malaysian Ringgit banknote in 2012. The word ‘ringgit’ is used to refer to the serrated edges of silver Spanish dollars. It was widely circulated in Portuguese colonial areas.

The bright blue polymer plastic banknote of 1 Malaysian Ringgit’s front-side features Malaysia’s first Supreme Head of State, Abdul Rahman of Negeri Sembilan, as well as a red Hibiscus or rosa-Sinensis, the national flower of Malaysia. And the backside of the Banknote shows children flying a moon kite.
