Malaya and British Borneo Board of Commissioners of Currency 1000 Dollars 21.3.1953 Pick 6a B106 KNB6a PMG About Uncirculated 50 EPQ.
The Board of Commissioners of Currency in Malaya and British Borneo replaced Straits Settlements with notes of the same denominations in 1953. Queen Elizabeth II replaced King George VI on this series, which was in service from 1953 until 1967 at minimum, and possibly until 1973 in some cases. This stunning 1000 Dollars was the highest denomination of the series to be available for use by the public, as the $10,000 note was strictly used between banks. Paper notes of the Straits Settlements, Malaya, and Malaya & British Borneo were pegged to the British Pound at the rate of $1 to 2 Shilling 4 Pence. After some division, this enormous $1000 note was worth nearly £117 / $328 USD in 1953, which was a hefty sum of money in this region, or frankly, in any country or colony. Adjusted for inflation, 1000 Malayan Dollars explodes to $3,877 USD in present terms. As such, issuance of this denomination was small, as most transactions demanded a more exchangeable denomination of paper notes and coins. Despite its imposing spending power, this note was thankfully saved to enjoyed by collectors today. Complete originality is seen through the third party holder as this note is uncleaned, unwashed, and void of any pressing or repairs. Original paper, with completely crisp nature is easily viewed, coupled with bright colors and an overall pleasant visual appeal. At the time of cataloging, only 22 examples of this note are graded by PMG, with only two pieces scoring higher in the census. This note is rarely offered and it is coveted by collectors worldwide. Especially decent and very rare, especially at this grade level.

經典雋永的1953年伊麗莎白二世像1000元流通鈔

1953年馬來亞及英屬婆羅洲貨幣發行局1000元。PMG About Uncirculated 50 EPQ。
1953年，海峽殖民地的鈔票被馬來亞及英屬婆羅州貨幣發行局取代。鈔票上的佐治六世亦由伊麗莎白二世取而代之。這套鈔票流通於1953至1967年，在部分情況下甚至使用至1973年。由於10,000元僅用於銀行間結算，故這款震撼矚目的1000元為向公眾發行的最高面額。海峽殖民地、馬來亞及英屬婆羅州的鈔票與英鎊一直維持1元兌2先令4便士匯率，故這張面額可觀的鈔票可在1953年兌換足足117英鎊或328美元，在當地抑或任何國家都稱得上一筆鉅款，若將通漲計算在內，甚至等值現時的3,877美元。由於日常交易大多使用較小面額錢鈔，故此鈔的發行量甚低。雖然此鈔購買力驚人，但幸而被保留至今以供收藏家欣賞。在第三方評級公司封套中，其原初外觀一目了然，未經任何清洗或修補。銳利堅挺的全原裝紙質顯而易見，伴以亮麗鮮艷的色調，營造出賞心悅目的整體外觀。截至編目時，PMG記錄中僅有二十二例，當中僅有兩例評分更勝一籌。此鈔有如鳳毛麟角，廣受世界各地收藏家青睞，其頂尖優秀的EPQ評分更是份外稀罕。
