The Straits Dollar was re-issued in 1919 and the following year with the same reverse design as in 1907 to 1909. The reverse features a scroll ornament with the Chinese characters YAT YUEN in the top and bottom quadrants
and the Malay characters SATU RINGGIT from left to right (both meaning one dollar). The reverselegend reads STRAITS SETTLEMENTS ONE DOLLAR followed by the date. The
obverse features a crowned bust of King GEORGE V with the legend, GEORGE V KING
AND EMPEROR OF INDIA by Sir E. B. Mackennal.Both the 1919 and 1920 issues are relatively common with
proofrestrikes available in relative abundance. The dollar was also issued in
small quantities in 1925 and 1926 though very few have survived making these two dates often skipped by date
set collectors.
