More than 300 notes certified by Paper Money Guaranty® (PMG®) and dozens of coins certified by Numismatic Guaranty Company® (NGC®) are being offered in an ongoing Trigometric sale, which is focused on rarities from Malaysia and beyond. Online bidding is already underway for Trigometric’s January 2026 Auction, which is set to end on January 31, 2026.

Highlighting the PMG-certified notes in the sale is a Straits Settlements / British Administration 1901-24 5 Dollars graded PMG 35 Choice Very Fine (lot 1482), which has an estimate of RM16,000 to RM30,000 (about $3,900 to $7,400).
