The Darvel Bay (Borneo) Tobacco Plantations, Limited was one of several British chartered enterprises that attempted to commercialize North Borneo's interior during the 1880s, operating in territory administered by the British North Borneo Chartered Company after its founding in 1881. Plantation scrip of this kind was a practical necessity — specie simply did not circulate reliably in remote Sabah, and the company needed a medium to pay and supply its workforce.
Charles Skipper & East, who also produced notes for South African and colonial issuers in the same period, printed the series in London. Whether significant quantities ever returned to the company for redemption is doubtful given the plantation's short operational life in the region.
