Host: KM-127.3. 32.35 grams. VF host with light toning, the deep countermark no less than AU, featuring the coat of arms of the chartered British North Borneo Company in inverse, suggesting an unofficial striking from a printing die, possibly later than the Company's 1880s administration in present-day Sabah, Malaysia.
