24. Malaya JIM Notes $10 Smokeless Variety

photo by jim.notes

     Have you heard about smokeless ship variety of Malaya JIM $10 Dollar before? I have heard of it before but at first I thought it was maybe due to isolated error or a fake note. But only recently I was quite shocked and interested after I found a seller who described the smokeless due to another printer.

     "JIM  Malaya $10 block MK, scarce smokeless variety. Printed by the American Secret Service(OSS) to finance the freedom fighter, Force 136 during the Japanese Occupation." jim.notes

      American Secret Service funding Force 136 to fight Japanese? That was quite logical but I think that was never included in my History lesson before.

    By the way, is it true? Wonder where the seller get the facts.

22. Malaya Japanese Invasion Money 100 Dollars Chinese Characters Overprinted

photo by leocollection

    This is the most interesting JIM banknote that I tried to bid recently. It is an original 100 dollars with chinese characters overprinted at the obverse side of the note. According to the seller, it can be roughly translated as " Go up mountain look for tiger; want to borrow money difficult; if no savings then you are in trouble by Great Japan Malaya Finance Department".

     Frankly I do not understand the meanings of those sentences, can someone enlighten it to me? The seller claimed he do not know the origin or purpose of this banknote.

   It was sold at the price of RM100.

21. Malaya Japanese Invasion Money 5 Cents Block ML-M/AQ Error

       This is an error note which was being auctioned recently. It is an ML block note overprinted with block M/AQ on the obverse side. The reverse side is normal.

   I suppose the blocks represent which batches the notes belong too. How these two different blocks come printed together is surely mind-boggling. Apparently this note is valued around RM160 recently for this EF quality paper.

20. Malaya Japanese Invasion Money One Cent Error

    Recently I stumbled upon a seller which listed some of very interesting Malaya JIM banknotes. I had try my luck on them since the current prices an hour before time ended were approximately around RM30. But unfortunately I didn't win even one of the auctions, so sad T-T. This one piece ended for the price of $37.95, approximately RM130. Looking back at it, it was quite a reasonable price.

   This is a One Cent note from Japanese Invasion Money (JIM). This note is having reverse print totally inverted on aUNC paper with only light foxing. The block M/AD specifically meant for Malaya. I have seen a blogger showing his piece of similar error note like this in his blog.

  I was in hesitation whether to write a post about this or not, because the notes are belong not to me. Hehe but I think it will be okay as long as I put a line of credit to its owner (ex-owner to be precise) and this post is only for the sake of sharing information.

  This is the least interesting one among the 3 banknotes I found. Stay tuned for next posting.

   Is this a rare note?

18. Malaya and British Borneo 1 Dollar 1953

   Hi all, Happy Eid Fitri, Happy Malaysia Day, and Happy Every Day I wish to all of my dearest reader out there.

   This is my collection of 1 Dollar note, bearing the face of probably the most famous queen in numismatic world, Queen Elizabeth. I had no doubt that she, or at least her portrait in this banknote, is beautiful.

   Having dimension of 121mm times 63mm, this note is still in good condition, maybe I can grade it as gEF. Printed by Waterlow & Sons Ltd, it was signed by W.C Taylor in probably 21/3/1953.

    Recently, I spend about 20 minutes examining the back of the note. Surely for me the back of this banknote is beautiful, with all 16 coat of arms spread symmetrically. And for that moment I realized why most collectors pursue only for UNC notes.

   This is my second banknote of this type. Anybody out there still missing this note?
