Straits Settlements Government of Straits Settlements 10 Dollars 1.1.1930 Pick 11s KNB19 Specimen PMG Choice Very Fine 35. Both interesting and rare, this Specimen is unusual compared to others created by British printers in the 20th century. Oddly, this was a fully issued note, featuring the final date of the series, which briefly circulated before being transformed into a Specimen. More clearly seen from the back, there are four vertical "CANCELLED" perforations, and two purple stamps which are easily visible. Typically, Specimens were issued at the onset of a note's production run, and not the end. A highly specialized offering, and the fourth variety of Specimens created for this denomination. At the time of cataloging, PMG has only graded two Specimens, across all varieties, with this example achieving the higher score. An iconic British Commonwealth banknote and especially rare as Specimen for the 1930 date. From the Yuri Solovey Collection
