The Malayan dollar series printed by Bradbury Wilkinson in 1942 was never intended for peacetime banking. The Japanese invasion of February 1942 overtook the territory before most of the higher denominations could be properly distributed, and the occupying forces immediately replaced the existing currency with their own "banana money." Notes from this print run were largely in transit or in vault storage when Singapore fell.
The $1000 face value made this one of the highest-denomination colonial currency notes issued in the region. Whether any reached genuine circulation before the collapse is a matter of some dispute among specialists — surviving examples in used condition are treated with particular skepticism.
