Hardly can we see such a magnificient large piece of the banknote which is the $1000, 21 March 1953, Queen Elizabeth II, (P.6a; Boon B6a), serial no. A/1 27602, graded PMG 50 EPQ, about uncirculated. This is an extremely rare paper currency note. This note is  to be auctioned in the Mavin International (Singapore)  on 13 & 20 March 2010. Mavin stated that the currency is from a family heirloom. At this size, there is noted some handling marks though most of the time is kept in a safe. The note  stills retains a wonderful sheen that fully justifies its exceptional paper quality designation.

The reserved price/auction price is US$30,000-up

Paper Money Price Trend Of Queen Elizabeth (Malaya & British Borneo currency) from $1 to $100

Like the earlier article on Paper Money Price Trend of King George VI ($1 to $100 ) extracted below a table on Queen Elizabeth’s reign to see whether paper money collecting is a worthwhile hobby cum investment alternative.

Salient points:

(a) Increase means the price increases after deducting the cost of purchase [formula=Year 2009/year 2002 less 1] 
 

(b)The longer you hold the higher the paper money value appreciate which denotes that it could be used as a medium to long term alternative investment  to other financial markets like equities, real estates, fixed incomes,etc ( see rare coins investing)

 and

(c) Conditions with EF & Unc attract a very much higher yield ( after deducting cost of purchase)
