$1000, 21 March 1953, Queen Elizabeth II Auctioned in Mavin International

Posted by slang on April 12, 2010

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
