Sarawak at this time was the private domain of the Brooke Raj — Charles Brooke held the position of Rajah, having inherited the territory from his uncle James in 1868. The currency issued under the Government of Sarawak was therefore not colonial currency in the conventional British sense; it was issued under the authority of a hereditary monarchy unique in the nineteenth-century world.
