WORLD WAR II JAPANESE INVASION MONEY VJ MK PREFIX

Another new addition to my family member of JIM note collection. I love the condition of the note where the red ink of the MALAYAN VJ WAR SOUVENIR has somehow penetrated to the reverse of the note over the passage of time. The note is not an UNC note though.

新加入的日治时代钞票。特别喜欢那红红的墨水渗透到背面。然后纸钞本身带有经历大时代沧桑的感觉。一个字。。。赞！

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the ordinary Malayan King George Vi $10 notes issued in 1941, replacing the famous purple $10 issued in 1940 that were withdrawn from circulation.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?

My Straits, Malaya, Malaya & British Borneo, and Malaysia $1 Collection Part I

1935 Straits Settlement King George V $1 GEF

1941 Malaya King George VI $1 UNC

After sometime, I decided to put up this blog posting to share with you all my $1 collection. This is the 1st part of my complete collection of $1 from 1935 Straits Settlement till present day. The 1940 $1 which is very very rare and expensive, still eludes me for the time being.

Most notes are in UNC conditions unless stated otherwise in the item description.

Some of these notes have been posted in the previous blog posts but for completeness of the $1 set sharing, I have no choice but to put them up again here in these postings. My sincere apologies for this.

1959 Kapal Layar Series of One dollar Banknote

Kapal Layar Waterlow and Sons A prefix original uncirculated



Kapal Layar Thomas De La Rue Rare A prefix in original uncirculated condition. Very very rare to get this kind of condition.

I managed to track that the waterlow series was issued until prefix of A71 and that the Thomas was from prefix A74. So the switching of printer was between A72 or A73.

This also means that the A prefix of Thomas de La Rue is definitely a very scarce and rare find in original uncirculated condition as the amount of A prefix for TDLR is only 1/3 of waterlow and sons

PS(9/11/09): I can now confirmed that the printer switched at A/71 as I had come across 2 pieces of A/71 notes where one is by Waterlow while the other is by TDLR.



Kapal Layar Thomas De La Rue C prefix in running numbers in original uncirculated condition.

PS: I finally found the B prefix original UNC piece of kapal layar...

1953 Malaya and British Borneo Queen Elizabeth II Ten Dollars Banknote

Another piece of 1953 series of Queen Elizabeth II Malaya and British Borneo note. This is a ten dollars note in original almost uncirculated condition.

This Queen Elizabeth II banknotes series could be jumping fly high in prices in future when her majesty pass away. After all, it is her only issue in Malaya that has her portrait. Furthermore, her majesty is one of the longest rigning monarch in British Royal Family.

I have this piece in 3 pcs running numbers. just chose one piece to share with everyone.

1941 King George VI $1 UNC Banknote

This is another 1941 King George VI $1 banknote that I have in my collection in UNC condition. King George VI is a very shy person. He never expect himself to be the king as his elder brother King Edward VIII was the crowned prince. King George VI reigned from 1936 till his death in 1952.

A well sought after 1940 King George VI 10 cents Emergency issue in uncirculated condition. It was issued during the early periods of WWII， when paper money was scarce.

This is a 1940 King George VI 10 cents emergency issue with low serial number of 17. Though it is in low grade but scarce to obtain such low serial number.

1941 King George VI Low Serial Number

This is a piece of Malaya 1941 $1 note that bears a very low serial number of 000064 in original uncirculated condition. Very rare to get in this condition.
