Posted below is the reprint of the 2011 series of 1 ringgit. It is not sure if other denominations with the year date of 2019 have been printed and awaiting to be issued.

 

As this is a reprint, the designs on both the front and the back are the same, except that this one has a year date of 2019 printed on the back of the note.

 

This 2019 print was first reported in 2019 when an uncut sheet of 2 was released to celebrate the Sultan's 73rd birthday. Only 600 sets were issued for this special occasion.

Like all banknotes issued in Brunei, the signature on the note belongs to the Sultan of Brunei.
