In a lot of Malaya WWII notes that I purchased recently, there's one with a strange perforation that I haven't noticed on any similar note before. Does any of you know what it may be? Thank you in advance, Vasilis
I'm afraid it's not because of that; I can't think of any reason for cancelling a note like this, while paid ones are usually just stamped as "PAID".
A friend suggested that this piece is a post mint job (probably done in Malaysia or Singapore) as the Japanese are inclined to use Mi-Hon rather than other Roman lettering. But... is it so?
It could have been done by anyone for a reason only known to them. Unless you find some official documentation all you will have is speculation. The perforation is B & Co. Is the paper watermarked?
