The Clunies-Ross family ran the Cocos (Keeling) Islands as a private feudal domain from the mid-nineteenth century until the Australian government finally bought them out in 1978. This note is part of that system — a captive currency issued by the family to pay their Cocos Malay workforce, redeemable only at the family's own store. Workers had no practical means of converting it into any external money. The arrangement was not informal; it was deliberate economic control over an isolated population with no alternative.
The 1902 series used paper rather than the ivory or plastic tokens the family issued in other denominations and periods, making paper survivors particularly fragile.
