| 备注 |
Papuan Industries Ltd. was a trading and plantation company operating in British New Guinea, and this note is one of the more obscure examples of private commercial scrip issued in the Pacific region. Corporate-issued currency of this kind filled a genuine gap — official coinage was scarce and inconvenient in remote plantation economies where the company itself functioned as the primary commercial intermediary for its workers and suppliers.
Bradbury, Wilkinson's involvement gives it a level of physical quality unusual for plantation scrip. The firm printed colonial government issues across the British Empire; being engaged for a private company note in 1906 suggests Papuan Industries had both the capital and the ambition to produce something resembling legitimate currency.
