Malaysia National Bank on Friday announces the issuance
of a new series of RM 50 banknotes into circulation to
commemorate Malaysia 50th Anniversary of independence.
The new RM 50 banknotes will be available for circulation
on Jan. 30 next year.
Security Features
The security features incorporated in the Fourth Series of
RM50 banknotesare as follows :
The Watermark Portrait can be recognised
by tints that are lighter or darker than the surrounding
paper. This watermark portrait which has a
three-dimensional effect appears without sharp outlines.
At the base of the watermark, the numeral 50 is clearly visible.
The Security Thread is embedded in the paper
and appears on the reverse side of the note as a
silver coloured dotted line. When the note is held
against the light, it is seen as a continuous dark
coloured line and the repeated text BNM RM50 can
be read. When viewed under ultra-violet light, the
thread is seen in various changing colours known as the "rainbow effect".
Micro-Letterings of "BNM RM50" which can be
viewed under a magnifying glass.
Invisible Fluorescent Elements can be seen
through various elements of the background on the
obverse and reverse side of the banknote and will
fluoresce in different colours when viewed under
ultra-violet light.
Perfect See-Through Register feature where the
graphic songket design on the obverse side of the note
will register perfectly with the same graphic songket
design on the reverse side when it is held against the light.
Multicolour Latent Image of the denomination
50 can be seen when the banknote is tilted slightly and
the colour changes when it is rotated.
Holographic Stripe features the denomination 50
and the hibiscus flower, with a multi-coloured pumping

areas of the design appearance will change when the
