Now, I've been waiting to get this note for ages and everytime i saw it on ebay it went for crazy prices and then i found it right here on my doorstep at Robert Murray's Stamp Shop and had a good blether about the Independence referendum as well. I managed to get this and the previous two notes as well as some accessories too. so i was well chuffed!!
This note is the 10 Cents note from the Straits Settlements, a group of British Territories which included Singapore, Malacca, Dinding and Penang. The note is from 1919. The Straits settlements was in existence from 1826 until 1946, first as a British colony, then under Japanese occupation during WWII. After the war Singapore became independent and the others joining the Malayan union which became modern day Malaysia.
