Noonan’s Mayfair have just launched their preview of the first part of the much anticipated auction of The Frank Goon Reference Collection of British Malayan Banknotes. https://www.noonans.co.uk/auctions/calendar/698/

There will be some super notes on offer, including some significant rarities.

Banknotes of the British North Borneo Company have always been among my favourites. Below is one of the notes in the sale.
