Security Features
New security features are incorporated in this RM50 polymer banknote. It combines conventional security features commonly found in paper banknote and innovative security features which are unique to polymer banknotes. These features provide protection against the use of contemporary high resolution digital colour copiers and scanners. The security features of this RM50 Polymer banknote include the following:-
-
Clear Security Windows - visible from both sides of the note, they are readily identifiable features, including under low light conditions.
-
Optical Variable Device - positioned in the larger clear window and visible from both sides, a bright golden-coloured diffractive Optical Variable Device features the portrait of the first Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong. Clearly visible optical shifts are generated when the note is tilted to the light.
-
Security Vignette - Bank Negara Malaysia's logo appears, printed in white in the smaller clear window and visible from both sides of the note.
-
Intaglio Micro-Lettering - part of the background behind the portrait and the ring shape around the stadium contains micro-lettering of the words "KL 98 Games" which can be viewed under a magnifying glass.
-
Visible and Invisible Fluorescing Printing - elements of the background designs, the Games logo and the two serial numbers will fluoresce when seen under ultra violet light. Invisible under normal conditions, the denomination will also appear when exposed to ultra violet light.
-
Anti Scanner / Copier Patterns - the note features certain areas, designed such that these will change appearance when copied.
-
Overcoating - the special protective coating of the polymer notes will make the security features in the polymer notes stay in a good condition over the entire life of the note. The numbers are positioned in two rectangles, which have not been overcoated, and these can be seen when the note is tilted at an angle.
This RM50 commemorative polymer banknote is a collector's item produced in a limited quantity, that is 500,000 sets. The note is legal tender.
