Malaya Board of Commissioners of Currency $10,000 ND (1942) Pick 17cts Color Trial Specimen. A Bradbury Wilkinson Color Trial Specimen with purple being the main color on the face and the back is printed in gray ink. The remaining originality of this piece includes both embossing and white paper. This is the highest denomination of the issue. We see that no issued notes of Pick 17 have turned up as confirmation is still needed by the Krause reference. Also, the capture of Singapore by Japanese forces in February 1942 was a limiting factor, if not a total suspension of issuance for this design. This example grades PMG About Uncirculated 53 EPQ. HID08701242017
Estimate: 40000-50000 USD
