MALAYA



Malaya, sometimes referred to as British Malaya, a former member of the British commonwealth, had its capital city as Kuala Lumpur. Malaya was occupied by Japan from 1941 - 1945. its was granted independence in 1957 and in 1963 became part of the federation of Malaysia.

Monetary unit: 1 Dollar = 100 cents

 The note above is the 1 cent note from 1941. The front has a portrait of King George VI of Britain and  because it is uniface the back is blank.

As an aside the film " The king's speech" is about King George VI
