RM1 Ali Abul Hassan CR aka "Aishah Sign"

I bought one piece of RM1 CR Ali Abul Hassan signed note when I was in KL recently. Although the condition is only vf, it brings a good satisfaction when getting a note that you want. I have purchased these type of note and resell it at a higher value in the past but I think this one will remain in my album for quite sometime now.

Some people called this note the "Aishah" note because of the signature but it is actually signed by our then Bank Nnegara Governor Tan Sri Ali Abul Hassan.

RM1 CR Prefix vf condition

The obverse side:

One - one collection

One of the notes that I love to collect is the one that I called "One-One" collection. The notes that are in this category are notes that contained the first number prefix e.g A/1, B/1 and so on.

C/1 First Series RM1 UNC

P/1 Fourth Series RM1 UNC

 Hopefully I can add the A/1 and Z/1 in the future.
Cheers.

RM5 First / Last Prefix B19-B30 4th series

I completed my first, RM5 First- Last prefix pair RM5 4th series signed by Aziz Taha just recently. The condition is UNC, UNC. very fortunate to get it for a reasonable price.

RM5 First Last Prefix B19 - B30 UNC

As usual the signature of Aziz Taha commands a higher price than the RM5 3rd series. They are so many Pak Aziz fans out there. :)

Reverse side of the first - last pair

Note: The first prefix is B19 and not B18 as stated in one of the catalog book. Unless on show me the B18 picture.
Cheers.

RM50 ZETI ZC Replacement Note

I found this Replacement note while on my way to bank in my car's monthly installment this evening. But being a numismatic freak I decided to hold on to this note and change it with another note that I withdraw from the ATM.

RM50 Zeti ZC Replacement Note AUNC with counting mark

So, at the moment I got RM50 ZA,ZB and ZC only. Hopefully will get more from this favourite ATM spot.


Cheers.

Crossover No#2 - RM2 Cross Over Prefix, 8th,9th DF, DF

This is most probably the easiest of crossover to be completed because of the easy availabilty of these notes. Although the price of this notes can range from RM20 - RM35 in UNC condition, I just recently completed this crossover pair.

The pair that I am talking about is RM2 Ahmad Don Prefix DF that crosses over to the RM2 Ali Abul Hassan Side Prefix DF. Easily speaking for newbies out there is that it carries the same prefix but with different Governor Signature.

This is the reverse side:

The other crossover in this denomition is:

1. RM2 Cross Over Prefix, 9th-10th DJ, DJ
2. RM2 Cross Over Prefix, 8th,9th DF, DF

Cheers and happy collecting!

Crossover No#1 - RM5 6th Series CROSSOVER Prefix NR/NR

I completed my first Crossover yesterday when I found this NR Prefix RM5 6th series while going hunting with my friend Paul Simbaku.

RM5 Crossover NR

What amazed me is finding one with the cross is harder than finding the one without the cross at the pole. I even got one NR without cross AU condition for RM12 only.

And as you can see from the reverse side, the top one is with cross at pole and the bottom one is without the cross at pole.

I hope I will complete other crossover starting with RM2 and RM5.

Notes: The other crossover in RM5 :

1. RM5 6th Series CROSS-OVER Prefix (NK/NK)
2. RM5 6th,7th Series CROSS-OVER Prefix (PW/PW)
3. RM5 6th Series CROSS-OVER Prefix (NR/NR)

Cheers!

Malaysian RM100 1st to 4th series complete set

I completed my RM100 collection last month when I added the RM100 1st and 4th notes.

 
Although the condition is at best VF (very fine) but I am proud to be able to complete it because to find the RM100 1st and 4th series are getting tougher by the day.

Cheers.
