The Straits Settlements — comprising Singapore, Penang, and Malacca — operated as a Crown Colony under direct British administration, and its currency commission relied entirely on London for note production throughout this period. Thomas De La Rue had held the contract since the colonial government took over issuance from the private Chartered banks in the early twentieth century.
The P#11 series was replaced following the 1930 Currency Ordinance revision, which restructured the issuing authority ahead of broader Malayan monetary consolidation. Notes from the later years of this range are considerably scarcer than earlier dated examples — the Depression-era contraction in trade volume meant fewer notes were actually placed into circulation before the series was withdrawn.
