Auctioneer Description:
Straits Settlements Government of Straits Settlements $50 24.9.1925 Pick 12a.
A thoroughly impressive high denomination from the British possession. The original condition of this example - as highlighted by its PPQ designation - draws the attention of all collectors. From previous examples we've handled, we see the large denomination was no excuse from these notes' heavy use in commerce, with most examples today having frayed edges and wear from folding.
The previous example of this design we've handled was an Apparent Very Fine 25 example which came from the Ruth Hill Collection, which realized $9,400, and was backed due to its fragility. This example featuring strong, original paper, inks and embossing is certain to realize for more. PCGS Very Fine 35PPQ.
1925年海峽殖民地政府（叻嶼岬國庫銀票）伍拾圓。
英屬系列中令人印象深刻的一張。其原始的質量與其PPQ評級一樣，足以吸引每一位收藏家。從我們以往曾經手過的同類紙幣中，由於當時大面值的紙幣少不免高度用於商業交易，故此大部分現存的均有磨損邊緣或摺合而成的磨損狀況。我們對上一次經手的同款設計乃來自Ruth Hill 收藏系列，Apparent Very Fine 25的評級，最終以$9,400成交。此鈔完美展現了原始紙質、強烈的印壓，肯定會引來更激烈的競爭。PCGS Very Fine 35PPQ.
