MALAYA 1942 KGVI AND MALAYSIA 2001 RM5 ZETI "ZA" REPLACEMENT NOTE

Buying opportunity arises during the recent stock exchange crash due to the international oil price plunge to USD58 per barrel (as at time of writing). Numismatics are tied to the share market and once the share market crashed everyone lose confident on the economy and are scared to spend money coupled with some losses in the stock market.

Speculators are selling to make ends meet so the same goes to some weak collectors are disposing and there is where good items comes out. Then the "smart money" emerge to grab them.

I managed to purchase some good items recently.

Malaya 1942 $50 KGVI in original VF condition, unwash, unpress and uncrop.

This piece of banknote Malaya 1942 $50 KGVI in its original condition was a good find. There are plenty of "washed and pressed" of these notes in the market where i often came across. And i rejected them because once washed the blue color ink were smeared on the side of the note and make the note look bluish instead of the original beige color.

2001 RM5 Zeti Aziz "ZA" replacement papermoney banknotes

I bought a stack of 100pcs run of 2001 RM5 Zeti Aziz 11th series "ZA" replacement notes. The reason i bought this stack as it was the last RM5 papermoney before it was replaced by RM5 polymer notes.  This series "ZA" is very hot item and you couldn't buy in stack during the peak.

I also found and bought half a stack 50pcs run of Malaysia 1981 RM1 Aziz Taha "Blindman" 5th series of "BA" replacement notes. This series are very popular among the collectors. I apologize i have forgotten to snap some pictures before i've sent all of them to PMG for grading as i was overwhelm by excitement.

Happy reading.

1982 RM20 AZIZ TAHA PMG 67EPQ & 1989 RM20 JAFFAR HUSSEIN PMG 67EPQ

Malaysia first RM20 was issued in 1982 under Aziz Taha the then Bank Negara Malaysia governor it was also known as the "Blindman series" because of the four embossment marks on the upper left hand corner. It was meant to help those with visually impaired. This banknotes were amazingly preserved after 32 years in pristine condition and original crisp paper thus the merit of 67 EPQ from PMG are justifiable.

It was printed by Bradbury Wilkinson, UK and its paper are softer thus making it harder to achieve high grade compared with Thomas De La Rue had a sturdier and stronger paper.

Grade 67EPQ currently the highest grade for this series so far. None graded 68EPQ till today.

The prefix "TE" was the last prefix for this series.

1989 RM20 JAFFAR HUSSEIN 

This issue under our former Bank Negara Malaysia governor Jaffar Hussein was the second RM20 issued. The printer was Thomas De La Rue and as i mentioned on the above that its paper are more hardier and durable. Perhaps this was the reason our governor decided to change printer.

Nevertheless it also achieved 67EPQ from PMG as well.

The prefix "TG" was the second in the series of three prefixes. The first prefix "TF", "TG" and "TH" last prefix.
