To the upper right appears the serial number prefix and numeral. At left, the fractional denomination '1/10' is printed in red within a plain red circle. A dashed-border panel in the lower half contains the exchange clause in letterpress, beneath which appears the manuscript signature of G. Clunies-Ross alongside the date '1902.' in the lower left. |

The Clunies-Ross family ran the Cocos (Keeling) Islands as a private fiefdom from the early nineteenth century until Australian authorities finally terminated the arrangement in the 1970s and 1980s. Their scrip currency — denominated in Rupees and fractions thereof — was a deliberate instrument of labor control. Coconut plantation workers were paid in these notes, which could only be spent at the family-owned store. No external trade was possible for those without access to real currency.
The 1902 series was printed in substantial quantity for an island population that never exceeded a few hundred souls. That figure points squarely at systematic hoarding by collectors, not genuine circulation demand.
