King George VI $10 Red A Prefixes

A/99 prefix.. Last red A

A/83...First red A

These are the ordinary Malayan King George Vi $10 notes issued in 1941, replacing the famous purple $10 issued in 1940 that were withdrawn from circulation. History has it that the merchant ship carrying the 1940 series notes were sunk by the Germany submarine.

The 1940 $10 purple note ended with A/82 prefix. The new red coloured note began with A/83. The last of the red A prefix is A/99. Comparatively, the red A prefixes has much less in numbers compared with the purple $10. Try looking for one anywhere and you will know..

Probably there are collectors out there holding other different red A prefixes. Care to share your collections?
