The obverse of the note features Tuanku Abdul Rahman, the first Head of State of Malaysia, accompanied by the hibiscus, the country's national flower. Songket patterns, a traditional Malay fabric, are also present. It should be noted that banknotes from lower series may have brighter colors, suggesting a possible printing variation.
