1000 Ringgit

The 1000 Ringgit is the highest denomination ever issued for general circulation by Bank Negara Malaysia, and P#6 belongs to the first series — the Agong series — released following the country's post-independence monetary consolidation. Bradbury Wilkinson, working from their New Malden facility, handled the entire series, a contract that reflected both the printer's long relationship with Commonwealth central banks and Malaysia's continued reliance on British security printing firms in the years immediately after independence.

The denomination was eventually withdrawn and demonetised in 1999, when Bank Negara cited concerns about its use in illicit transactions — a decision that made surviving circulated examples considerably harder to source than their face value once suggested.
