Bradbury, Wilkinson produced this note for the third and last White Rajah of Sarawak, Charles Vyner Brooke, whose family had governed the territory as a personal fiefdom since James Brooke received it from the Sultan of Brunei in 1841. The 1929 series was printed during a period of relative prosperity built on rubber and pepper revenues — the Depression would hit Sarawak hard within months of issue.
The $25 denomination is the awkward middle value of the series and consequently sees less collector traffic than the high values, despite being genuinely scarce in circulated grades.
