On the 15th March 2020, PMG Facebook Page featuring their note of the day with this piece of Malaysia 1 Ringgit banknotes, in their introduction of this banknotes, they call it as the first series one ringgit banknotes for Malaysia as below,

Note of the Day: This beautifully printed and preserved Malaysia Undated (1981-83) First Series 1 Ringgit is graded PMG 70 Gem Uncirculated EPQ ★. The series started in 1967 and was withdrawn in 1987. It has a portrait of the first head of state of the Federation of Malaya, Tuanku Abdul Rahman. 

PMG is putting the 1967 to 1983 banknotes as first series may be due to the designed but in local banknotes guidebook catalogue, we may find they separate it to 4 series, which the 1st series is from 1967 to 1972, 2nd series is from 1972 to 1976, 3rd series is from 1976-1981, and 4th series is from 1981 to 1983, and PMG actually have them separate in the label which you found the Pick# serial number and ND (years of issue) is different for this 4 series.

























1967-1972 have the old spelling of "DI-PERLAKUKAN" and "GABENOR". Signed by Tun Ismail Mohd. Ali. Engraved and Printed by Bradbury, Winkinson & Co. Ltd., England.

1972-1976 is having the same signature as the 1967-1972 issue but with new spelling of "DIPERLAKUKAN" and "GABENUR" with same engraved and printing company.

1976-1981 with same signature, same printing company, with new design and spelling with latent image (guilloche) at bottom left corner and the digit value appears on the left hand corner.
