Straits Settlements Government of the Straits Settlements 10 Dollars 1.1.1935 Pick 18bs KNB22e Specimen PMG Very Fine 30. This fully issued banknote was transformed to a Specimen after some time in circulation, which is unusual. A perforated "SPECIMEN ONLY" was applied to the center of the note. Additionally, a purple stamp is seen at front. The serial numbers were also inked over in a 1950s era marker. PMG describes this note as an "Archival Specimen" on the back of the third party holder, which could indicate that this note was turned into a financial institution decades after this note was first issued. Unusual and scarce.
