An absolutely stunning 1 Dollar colour trial from the Straits Settlements in predominantly brown colour compared blue for issued notes.

一對舉世稀見試色樣票
1931-35年海峽殖民地叻嶼呷國庫銀票壹圓。試色樣票。
此張海峽殖民地一元試色樣票,以棕色為主,而正式發行版則為藍色,極為罕見。深淺棕色交織,搭配黃棕色和多色構圖,左下方BWC印章,右側為喬治五世肖像,極具收藏價值。編目者在以往的記錄中未曾發現過此顏色的樣票,因此推斷存世款其極為稀罕,是海峽殖民地或東南亞紙幣收藏家不可多得的珍品。
