1901年海峡殖民地肋屿押国库银票一佰圆。收藏之乐，在于每每于不经意间，总有珍稀藏品能令你注目停留。此一枚，正是典型的经典杰作：我们第一次经手的发行版别，评分为PCGS GSG FINE12。PMG颢示不论样张或发行钞，无其他同版纸币有评分。我们悠长的拍卖史上亦不曾遇过。多方查找，只有近期的一个样张拍卖记录，以$50,000成交。不过该枚品相较劣，而且年份于1909，而非此枚，印于1901，且为发行钞。据记载，1901乃此版别的第一年发行。此TDLR设计属于当时沙捞越纸币的最早期设计。纸钞整体设计依然清晰，包括背面的老虎画像。在右下方的序列号上面有三个印签。整体印色以红色为主，只有中下方的"HUNDRED"以绿色印刷。正面文字以四种语言显示：英语、中文、马拉语、爪夷文。品相而言，与评级相符。有些渍点，撕裂，不过以其年代之久，及大型尺寸，实属常见。均匀流通，仍然赏心悦目，绝对在大部分高端集藏中从缺的一枚。日期：1901年2月1日。序列号：A/1 54319。PCGS GSG Fine 12.STRAITS SETTLEMENTS.

100 Dollars, 1901. P-4C. PCGS GSG Fine 12.Every so often a note comes out of a collection that stops collectors in their tracks. This piece is one of those notes that are as elusive as it gets, and is the first issued example that we have seen, offered here in a PCGS GSG Fine 12 Holder. The Population Report at PMG shows no pieces certified, specimen, or issued. We have yet to handle either of the type prior to this lot.We have found only one record of a Specimen that sold recently for over $50,000. However, that specimen was in worse condition, and had a printed date of 1909, and not the early 1901 date that is found on this ISSUED piece. The 1901 date is the earliest known date for the type.This TDLR design belongs to the first series of notes from the Straits Settlements. The entire design is visible, including the Tiger that is shown on the reverse. Three printed signatures are found above the lower right serial number. The design is completely red with the exception of the green "HUNDRED" printed at lower center. Four languages dress the front of the note; English, Chinese, Malay, and Jawi. The condition of the note can be considered typical for the grade. Some spots, and splits are visible which could be expected on a note this old, and of this size. Still, even with the circulation, the note maintains excellent eye appeal, and is certainly missing from even the most advanced, and heavily invested collections. Dated February 1st, 1901. Serial Number A/1 54319.
