The Straits Settlements 25 Cents note of 1917 owes its existence to wartime metal shortages. Silver coinage was being hoarded and melted across British Malaya, and the colonial government needed a fractional paper substitute quickly. De La Rue had an established relationship with the Crown Agents, so the contract went to London without competitive tender.
Pick 7 is part of a short-lived fractional series — 10 and 50 Cent denominations were issued alongside it — that circulated uncomfortably alongside both coins and the larger dollar notes. Public resistance to low-denomination paper in tropical climates was real; the notes deteriorated fast, and heavily worn survivors are far more common than clean ones.
