The Last Queen's Portraits
In the 1950s, the British territories in Malaya and Borneo decided these territories should have a common currency board which would issue a common currency - the Malaya and the British Borneo note. This currency replaced older notes that featured King George VI in 1954 and was in turn replaced by a design featuring elements of Malayan life when Malaya achieved independence in 1957.
