BURMA

BUR MA
In 1863-64 the Heaton Mint received an order for a

complete mint, a turn-key project. As can be seen by
the details published by the late Jim Sweeny in 1981,
included in the order were 600 dies, broken down as
follows:
-- 1 Kyat (Rupee): 300 pairs;
- - t h r e e d e n o m i n a t i o n s: 10 0 p a i r s o f e a c h
denomination, 5 Mu, 1 Mu, and 1 Mat.
-- Total: 600 pairs of dies.
Normally these dies would long ago have been
destroyed after use, however the souveniring of a
few pieces in the Anglo-Burma war allows collectors
to see not just what a Burma die looks like, but any
Heaton die from that period.
The South East Asia Collection originally contained
other small dies, but these have been presently
misplaced. If they are located they will likely be
offered at any future auction.

Mint was captured and a number of tools taken as souvenirs. These were principally dies, normally of 1 Rupee, and very few of the

STATES AND CURRENCY BOARDS
The following section contains a unique group of
models and photo proofs prepared during the post-
WWII era for British South East Asia. The post-
WWII era brought many changes to the landscape,
most notably to Sarawak and British North Borneo
(now Sabah), which after the destruction of the
Japanese occupation and the Allied bombing the
Rajah and the Borneo Company could not afford
to rebuild. Accordingly these two states were soon
handed over to the British crown.
Subsequently the question -- a lengthy one -- was
what currency would be issued in them and whether
they would join a new version of the Currency Board,
was paramount.
In the peninsula the future of British Malaya, the
Malay States -- federated and un-federated -- and
Singapore was politically highly charged.
All of these questions of national and political entities
and monetary status led to a fascinating series of
designs in varying names being prepared by British
printers, each of which undoubtedly relished getting a
share of the new business!
These are presented in the pages that follow in the
order – or estimated order -- in which they were
prepared.

NETHER LANDS EAST INDIES TOKENS
The third and final portion of the South East Asia

Collection holding of Netherlands East Indies tokens
appears here. Those in lesser grade are being offered
separately in the online section. For collectors this
means there can be no further offerings from the
collection.
Many of these tokens were collected in the late 1960’s
and 1970’s when they were relatively more expensive
than they are today, and when the selection was far
less! Whether a larger collection has ever been offered
the cataloguer is not aware! Of the totality of the
collection, it can be noted thus there were only two
VIP Proof silver strikings in the entire collection,
unlike the British North Borneo section, which had a
considerably greater number.

The present offering represents the third and final

portion of the South East Asia Collection holding
of Singapore merchants tokens. All the Singapore
coins in the collection, in many cases dating back
to the legendary Pridmore sale of 1982, have now
or are now being offered. Some of these pieces have
earlier pedigrees than Pridmore, dating 100 years.
All pedigree material will be included with the lot, or
forwarded to the buyer subsequently on request.
Collectors should note that all Singapore tokens
have been graded and certified by the Numismatic
Guaranty Corporation, “NGC”, of Sarasota, Florida.
Note: a few circulated Singapore pieces missed
the cut-off deadline. One group is ten or fifteen
principally 1 Keping of the islands, i.e. Negri Siak
Tanah Melayu, etc. None of these are in Mint State or
Proof, the typical grade would be VF or EF.
A second group comprises between five and ten
striking error coins, all major mistrikes, mostly of
cock doits. These will be offered subsequently in some
manner.
In 1962 Spink and Sons of London published Volume 2 of ‘The Coins of the British Commonwealth of Nations
to the End of the Reign of George VI 1952’ by Major Fred Pridmore, the legendary researcher and collector
of British Colonial and Empire coinage. The Singapore Merchants Token chapter of this volume appears in the

SINGAPORE $100
W it h t h e f a i lu r e o f t h e Ne w O r ie nt a l B a n k
Corporation in 1892 and the severe buffeting taken
by the Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, Australia
& China (later the Mercantile Bank of India), even
though all British banks in the Straits continued in
business and paid their notes, it was decided to set up
a Currency Board.
The first notes of the Board appeared in 1898, and
ultimately comprised denominations from $1 through
the astronomical $10,000 -- $10,000 being 10,000
silver dollars.
The first notes were simple and probably inexpensive
De La Rue pri nt i ngs, wh ich t hen su f fered
counterfeiting due to the simplicity of design. As can
be seen by the unique model that follows, by 1915 it
was felt that new designs were needed to safeguard
the currency. At first these denominations were to be
$10, $50, $100, $1000, and ultimately $10,0000, all
for the first time with the portrait of the monarch,
George V.
However, while the inscription on the model indicates
that $10 was to be revised and issued with a portrait,
it is possible that due to the intense pressures of
WWI and great demands on Britain’s infrastructure,
that the $10 would have to wait. A new style of $10
was not in fact not issued until 1925, and without a
portrait.

The Government of Straits Settlements, $100, 1915, a spectacular and unique uniface obverse banknote model,
serial number A/7 00000, black grey on white, tiger below the bank name at top centre, arms at top right, George V at
top left. While the note illustrated only depicts the $1 changeover prototype, this design is the prototype for all higher
denominations in the Straits: The $50 first issued on 7 March 1916 (Chan Chin Cheung, page 111) The $100 first
issued on 7 March 1916 (Chan Chin Cheung, page 113) The $1000, lacking in Chan, but believed to have been first
issued in 1916 The $10,000, lacking in Chan, but believed to have been first issued in 1916. This design was modified
to become that which appears on the $50 through $10,000 of the following year, and many of these modifications are
evident on the model. Among these are cancellation strokes on the crown at left and the oval containing the portrait of
George V, the decorative element below the Chinese characters is deleted, the figures for ‘100’ at left are crossed out.
The model is serial numbered ‘A/7 00000’. However, when the issue was finalized in 1916 it was decided that a new
series of serials would be used. Thus the 1916 notes bear the prefix ‘B/1.’ The three signatories have been slashed out.
The date ‘1 March 1915’ was ultimately changed to one year later. The inscription at the bottom states ‘Signatures Black.
Design for $10 and above to be used with Watermark No. 7.’ This indicates that the $10 also at that time was planned
to have the new ‘portrait’ design, but for whatever reason the early style was maintained for that denomination. This
model is thus the key to the entire portrait series of Straits Settlements notes, and a once-only opportunity to acquire a
unique prototype for such sweeping change in the Straits Settlements monetary system. (Pick unlisted), PMG 64NET
(Printer’s Annotations, Previously Mounted). Unique.

The proofs, pattern, and currency coinage offered

here represents the third and final portion of the
Sout h East A sia Col lection hold ing of British
Sumatra coins. Collectors may note that most of these
pieces were added to the collection at least a third of a
century ago, and in fact in the latter half of the 1960’s
the collector was acquiring proofs from the Wodak
and other collections dispersed by Max Sterne of
Melbourne.
When the South East Asia Collection auctions began
there were no less than fourteen British Sumatra
patterns contained in the collection. Prior to that time
only one pattern had ever been graded by NGC!
It should also be noted that a 3 Keping described as
a pattern in used condition that was offered earlier in
2021 was in fact simply a currency coin mis-certified
and then at auction mis-described.
