Sarawak's small-denomination treasury notes of this period were a direct response to coin shortages that periodically plagued the remote Brooke Raj administration. The 1919 issue falls under the rule of Charles Vyner Brooke, who had recently assumed the Rajahship from his father Charles Anthoni following the latter's death that same year.
Pick 7 is notoriously difficult to find in any collectible state — the small format and lightweight paper meant heavy wear in the humid Borneo climate, and most surviving examples show significant soiling or edge damage consistent with prolonged pocket use.
