| Opmerkingen |
The British North Borneo Chartered Company was one of the last chartered companies granted genuine governmental powers — including the right to issue currency — operating its territory essentially as a private colonial administration until the Japanese invasion of 1941. These fractional notes filled a practical gap: small-denomination coinage was perpetually scarce in the interior, and the company's trading posts needed something workable below the one dollar threshold.
P#7 ran across two full decades without significant design revision, which makes precise dating of individual examples difficult. The brown printing was applied by a single-color letterpress process, and the notes are prone to toning that can deepen the brown considerably on circulated examples.
