Postal orders of British North Borneo

Postal orders of British North Borneo are considered as collectible items and listed under a separate issuer entity by the GB Overprints Society and the Postal Order Society.

It was a 6d postal order marked with a local round postmark indicating the location ('Lahad Datu') and date of issuance ('15 SEP 1909').

An overprint in the top left-hand corner reads 'Poundage payable in British North Borneo'.

The order's pre-printed postage stamp depicted Edward VII of the United Kingdom, the portrait that was typically used on definitive stamps of the United Kingdom and British colonies at that time.
