Why Collect This Note?
The 1941 series is highly sought after by collectors of British Commonwealth and Asian currency. Due to the chaos of the Japanese invasion in December 1941, many of these notes were lost at sea (notably on the SS Automedon) or destroyed to prevent them from falling into enemy hands. Finding an EF grade specimen today is a rare opportunity to secure a high-quality example of wartime "emergency" era paper money.
