FOREWORD

It is always a pleasure to complete another Spink Singapore auction catalogue, particularly in thistimely year, as Singapore celebrates its 50th anniversary. Additionally, this sale takes place duringthe long awaited World Stamp Exhibition, of which Spink are official auctioneer and key sponsor.

As collectors, you will all have noticed that top quality material is becoming harder and harder tosource, and that the cost of acquiring this material is rising. Despite this, we have put together a500 lot sale of banknotes, with some bonds and share certificates, coins and medals to add addi-tional flavour.

We have a varied selection of issued and specimen notes from all areas of South East Asia includ-ing some beautiful and pristine archival specimens, a colourful selection from the collection ofPatrick Tan, and a group of six elusive Waterlow colour trials from the Hong Kong banks, thatare absolutely gorgeous in addition to being of the greatest rarity. The many individual treasuresinclude a group of high denomination George VI and Elizabeth II Malaya, a very early Thai note,a Straits Settlements $50 of 1901 and some superb New Zealand.

The highlight of the small medal section is the superb Collar Chain and Badge of the Grand Orderof the Orchid Blossom, believed to be the only one is private hands. In many ways this lot epito-mises what Spink is about - sourcing and selling items that are of the highest rarity, beauty, andimportance.

I believe there are items here for all pockets and tastes so the best of luck to all our bidders. Welook forward to seeing many old and new friends at the auction, and on the 15th August, whenthe second edition of the acclaimed ‘Banknotes of British Malaya’, by Frank Goon is launched.

Barnaby, Andrew, and the rest of the Spink Team
