This 1986-1995 Bank Negara Malaysia (Malaysia National Bank) 100 Ringgit Banknote is a great addition to any serious paper money collector. In January 1986, Bank Negara Malaysia introduced new designs with additional security features for banknotes. These enhanced security features were incorporated to further deter forgery. Banknotes of this series were signed by Tan Sri Dato’ Jaffar bin Hussein from 1985 to 1994. The additional security features were a more visible security thread, a bigger latent image of the denomination, a bigger transparent mark and the serial number printed vertically in red ink and horizontally in black ink. The 100 Ringgit Malaysia banknote featuring the signature of Tan Sri Dato' Jaffar bin Hussein (the fourth Governor of Bank Negara Malaysia) is part of the Second Series of banknotes (sometimes referred to as the 6th series in some numismatic contexts, covering 1986–1995 or 1989–1998).

The 1986 Malaysia 100 Ringgit note is part of the 2nd Series (1982–1995). These notes were issued by Bank Negara Malaysia and withdrawn from circulation in 2000. These notes are often identified by their prefix letter, with "ZD" often being cited as the first prefix and "ZY" as the last prefix and mostly signed by Tan Sri Dato' Jaffar bin Hussein (Governor of Bank Negara Malaysia from 1985–1994). The front of the note has a purple, turquoise and brown multicolor underprint, features the portrait of the first Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Abdul Rahman and a watermark bust of his royal highness to the left. Its reverse side has a purple and red multicolor underprint, featuring the National Mosque (Masjid Negara) and the Bunga Raya, specifically Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, the national flower of Malaysia, symbolizing unity, strength, and the nation's principles. These notes were primarily printed by Thomas De La Rue Co., Ltd, London and United States Banknote Company, New York City, United States. The note is a great addition to any collection of paper money from Malaysia and around the world. Whether you are a seasoned collector or just starting out, this banknote is sure to impress.
