Straits Settlements Government of the Straits Settlements 100 Dollars 1.2.1901 Pick 4Cx Contemporary Counterfeit PMG Choice Fine 15. The 1898 to 1924 series of notes for the Government of the Straits Settlements are incredibly popular with collectors today. The higher denominations are virtually unseen today due to their small print totals and enormous contemporary spending power. This clever counterfeit is actually a work of art from a skilled but nefarious craftsman. It saw extensive circulation and may have gone completely unnoticed by consumers, vendors, and bankers alike. The underprint and fine details are surprisingly exacting, but the note lacks muster when presented against a strong light as the watermark is weak compared to a genuine note sourced from printer Thomas de la Rue. Notations and splits are mentioned for accuracy. Nevertheless very rare in this format and an economical method to acquire this seldom seen high denomination.
