Description

A Pair of Phenomenally Rare Colour Trials
STRAITS SETTLEMENTS. Government of the Straits Settlements. 1 Dollar, ND (1931-35). P-16cts. KNB20. Color Trial Specimen. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64.
An absolutely stunning 1 Dollar colour trial from the Straits Settlements in predominantly brown colour compared blue for issued notes. Bright, attractive light brown on soft-yellow brown and multicolour, BWC seal lower left, George V at right. The cataloguer cannot find another example of this colour in past records and will draw the conclusion that it is extremely rare. A must have note for serious collectors of Straits or South East Asian banknotes.

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。

Estimate: $5000.00 - $7000.00
