Government of the Straits Settlements
Government of the Straits Settlements, a Bradbury Wilkinson archival photograph showing the obverse for a proposed issue of $5, 12 December 1929, serial number A 000000, monochrome, George V at right, value in tablet at centre, outline of a tiger at left, Pountney signature, in PMG holder 62, uncirculated, unique and fascinating
TBB unlisted, Pick unlisted, KNB unlisted S$2,600-S$3,400
---
This is a particularly interesting proposal, with the style mirroring other notes of the era, with the side-facing portrait and frame being very similar to that of the Leeward Islands, Seychelles and Grenada, for example.
