It is Straits Settlements in fact, rather than Singapore.

The estimate is rather nice:

"The note is in VF condition. The paper still has good body and is of
original appearance. The estimate has been set at $240,000-300,000."

That's US$.

I am surprised they have not left it a year to maybe get a better
price with more publicity next year.

You're right. I've changed the title to Straits Settlements. I thought
the article has retaining value. I'm not sure if the source will
always be there. This way I have more control.

Sold for S$420,000 = US$308,619

Plus premium of course

I know nothing of Pot Duang (Thai bullet money), but the prices are
surprisingly high

The Thai bullet money's price is not too high compared to the Thai
market value. This set would easily fetch $50,000 here in Bangkok
mainly due to the 2 Baht gold pot duang.

well it fetched S$75,000 (US$55,375) + premium

Are these coins all very scarce? I would have thought that a large
number would survive because they are clearly so durable.

The gold pot duang are scarce, especially the 2 Baht and higher
denominations.
The number minted is not recorded.
As for the silver ones, the 10 Baht, 20 Baht, 40 and 80 Baht are
scarce.
Recently a 80 Baht silver pot duang was sold for about 8 million Baht
(approx. US$ 240,000)
