The design consists of an intricate geometric guilloche pattern filling the entire field, with three large overlapping rosette medallions arranged horizontally at centre, the central and largest medallion bearing the numeral '50'. Smaller decorative rosette roundels flank the central motif, all set against a fine cross-hatched guilloche background enclosed within a plain rectangular border. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Darvel Bay (Borneo) Tobacco Plantations Limited was a British-registered agricultural enterprise operating in what is now the Lahad Datu district of Sabah, along the northeast Bornean coast. In the absence of adequate small-denomination coinage in remote plantation territory — then under British North Borneo Chartered Company jurisdiction — private employers routinely issued their own scrip to pay and supply their workforce. This note is a product of that necessity.
Charles Skipper & East, the London security printers responsible for this series, produced plantation and company scrip across multiple British colonial territories during the same period. The perforated cancellation indicates a redeemed example — standard procedure when scrip was returned and retired rather than destroyed outright.
