Government of the Straits Settlements, a Bradbury Wilkinson archival photograph for a proposed issue of $5, ND (c.1897), serial number A/1 567890, monochrome, arms at top centre, value at centre, additional text ‘PERAK, SELANGOR, NEGRI SEMBILAN and PAHANG’ in top right field, in PMG holder 63, choice uncirculated, the first issue for the large format $5 was in 1898 so this is presumably a prototype, as it is similar in design to the issued note but with additional text in field, unique and important
