Commenti	Sarawak under the Brooke Rajahs was one of the few territories in the world governed as a personal family domain — Charles Vyner Brooke was the third and final White Rajah, and the notes issued under his name carried legal authority derived from his own person rather than from any colonial banking apparatus. Bradbury, Wilkinson produced the series to a high standard, as was their habit with colonial currency work. The series ran across more than a decade, ending with Japanese occupation in December 1941. Notes dated after 1940 were not issued.
