Guilloche underprint patterns frame the central composition, with the denomination and issuer legends arranged across the note. The overall design reflects the intaglio printing style characteristic of Bradbury Wilkinson productions of this period. |

Sarawak's 1929 currency was issued under the authority of Charles Vyner Brooke, the third and final White Rajah, whose family had ruled the territory as a personal fiefdom since James Brooke received it from the Sultan of Brunei in 1841. The Government of Sarawak operated its own currency entirely independently of British Malaya — a consequence of Sarawak's unusual status as a crown protectorate administered by a private dynasty rather than a colonial office.
Bradbury, Wilkinson produced the series to a high security standard, as they did for numerous colonial governments in this period. The 100-dollar denomination would have seen very limited hand-to-hand use in a territory whose economy ran largely on trade in rubber, sago, and pepper.
Vyner Brooke ceded Sarawak to the British Crown in 1946, ending the Brooke dynasty and rendering all currency issued in his name obsolete within a few years.
