Top left - Bank Negara Malaysia logo.
One of the common features of Malaysian Banknote is that they all are printed with Bank Negara's logo (top right). This BNM logo remains the same throughout the all four series. The logo design depicts Kijang Emas, a barking deer in its natural habitat, in Malaysian jungle.
Indeed, BNM started adopting the Kijang Emas as official logo back in 1964. The motif was, actually, from the ancient Kelantan gold coins. There were three types of ancient Kelantan gold coins issued namely Kijang coin, Dinar Matahari or Sun coin and coins with Arabic inscriptions on the both sides of the coin.
The story of of Kelantan Kijang coin was associated with Che Siti Wan Kembang, whom believe to a women ruler of Kelantan. According the the legacy, a Kijang was presented to her Majesty by some Arabian traders which later she became very fond to this animal and thereafter had inscribed the Kijang into the Kelantan ancient coin.
Another version of this Kijang coin was in fact associated with the influence of Saivite Hinduism. It was believe, that this Kijang coin resembled the Indian humped-back bull. The bull motif was depicted in ancient coins, which found to be circulated in the northern Malay states. Many historians believe, that the bull motif had been gradually transformed to that of a Kijang.
Denomination in numeral is in top right corner.
