A rag? My roommate laughed at me like hell when I told him I bought this note for a few hundred Ringgit. Well, so far this rag has chartered the highest price ever paid by me in buying coins or banknotes. Personally, this is the most beautiful banknotes of Straits Settlements, especially for its font. According to Steven Tan (2010), an uncirculated piece of this banknote is worth .. RM25,000. Would you buy it if someone offer a piece in UNC condition at a price of RM20,000?

Hi Chua,
Err same with me too, i will definitely buy it, but still I hope I don't have to buy it. RM20k is too large for me. :(
Sorry, lah, this note where got UNC one?
Anon,
I don't know.
Ya, beautiful. Arg, if only we have all the cash in the world :D
For me this is one of the most beautiful designs of all SS notes. This was my first SS note bought in 2007. Sold to MNFAJ in 2011.This note is much nicer than the one seen in the Perak Musuem which suprisingly would you believe it only 1/5 of the banknote remaining... only the sketched tiger.
Hi David,
Ya I agree with you that this note is the most beautiful designs of all SS notes.
Wow I would love to visit Perak Museum once in the future to see it.
As a student, this is the most expensive buying i have ever had. Thanks for your kind service. L
