STRAITS SETTLEMENTS AND MALAYA BRITISH BORNEO BANKNOTES

These are my recent acquisition of Straits Settlements banknotes for my collection.

These are very scarce banknotes from the era of King Edward VII (from 1901 to 1924).

1961 Prefix Big "B" 

The 1961 Malaya British Borneo with the Prefix Big "B" are extremely scarce and it has three prefixes in the series and they are prefix Small "A" (from A/1-A/80), Big "A" (from A/81-A/99) and Big "B" (from B/1-B/6) thus the prefix Big "B" are the least and very much sought after by collectors and the price for this note command a very high premium over the other two prefixes.

This piece of banknote carry the only chinese Finance Minister signature of Tun Tan Siew Sin of Malaya before it was succeeded by Ismail Ali in 1967 under the formation of Malaysia.

Happy Reading.
