Nice adds @NumisRob & @Dearborn!

I picked up a couple QEII notes from Belize & Fiji recently. Both are PMG gems which were priced about the same as if I bought them ungraded (so I figured I'd pull the trigger) even though neither are that tough. The first is a 1996 $5.00 from Belize:


The 2nd note is the Fiji $20 (also issued in 1996) with the single letter prefix (just a bit tougher than the $5):

-Thanks guys!
"IGE" I have been using Numista's Rarity Index (NRI) to seek out a few QEII notes I suspected might be "tough." If the NRI is above 80, which confirms my suspicion, I usually will buy it (if the price is right).

I also won this mislabelled Eastern Caribbean States $5.00 with Anguilla & with the tougher "Dwight Venner" (2nd) signature:

Malaya & British Borneo have gone ballistic in prices ever since I've been interested in QEII notes, so I've lost on every attempt to own one. That's a real beauty too (condition wise) @aster!

Here's a $20 I picked up from New Zealand (P-167d):

@walk2dwater

Nice piece you have !

How are the prices like for Malaya & British Borneo elsewhere in the world ? In both Singapore and Malaysia, the prices have gone down/weakened especially after the Queen passed on. Feels like the demand for these Malaya & British Borneo is no longer there (except for the bigger denominations).

Here are my Mauritius notes. I've just recently purchased the 25 & 50 Rp. They are difficult to get in good grades.

-Very nice examples @Harryb4
Since I posted my "b" variety: https://goccf.com/t/412847&whichpage=6#3561987
I have since won a 5 & 10 Rupee with the easiest "c" signature
I would love to get the 25 & 50 Rupees but I still need an example from:
East Africa
British Malaya
Rhodesia & Nyasaland
Southern Rhodesia

Thanks for your adds & hope to see more!

Thanks Walk2dwater. I'd love to get some of those colonial African notes as well. The closest I have is this Rhodesia One Pound of 1964. Also difficult to get. This was the only example I could get. Pity it is in such poor condition.

Here is an example of a 5 Shilling East Africa note I recently acquired. It's not a great grade but these are pretty rare, I think.
