Earlier in my article dated 12 February 2010, we looked at one Malaya and British Borneo $1,000 21 March 1953 being auction at Mavin International, Singapore with the following description:
$1000, 21 March 1953, Queen Elizabeth II, (P.6a; Boon B6a), serial no. A/1 27602, graded PMG 50 EPQ, about uncirculated, extremely rare. This note and the Malaya $1000 are not from the small group sold by the Board of Commissioners of Currency Singapore in the 1990s. They are from a family heirloom. Although some handling is seen, as is to be expected on a note of this size, this note would have resided unmolested in a safe for decades. It still retains a wonderful sheen that fully justifies its Exceptional Paper Quality designation.
Reserve Price: US$30,000-up . This bank note actually realised US$86,000

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
