Collection: Old Singapore Notes

Are you a collector of sorts? Do you collect cards, key chains whatever? Well I collect old notes, hopefully one day my small collection will bear fruits like the story below.

 

This ten shilling note was uncovered in Scotland in a private collection. The note was issued on the order of the NSW Governor Lieutenant-Colonel Lachlan Macquarie in 1817 by the Bank of New South Wales (now Westpac) on the day the bank opened . That’s April 8, 1817 & 100 ten shillings notes were issued on the first day.

As a result, this is generating much excitement over its condition, rarity (this is the only known specimen ) and major historical significance.  It is estimated to fetch a whopping USD 224,000 when it goes under the hammer very soon.

Wish I have this: It's beautiful right?
