Try looking in Taiwan (used to be Formosa), this could be one of the 1958 Orchids set, if so it is the 40c violet, catalogue number 281 in my old SG STOW.
Hope this helps.

Bingo ! Yowser
David I did try Taiwan (was my first choice)
but was unsuccessful.

Thing was I guessed it was around 1980 but the low value
40c didn't fit.

One thing with China and Taiwan, they are very regimented with
the style of font for their currencies
That's how I twigged it was Taiwan from the start
Bolder font with zeroes underlined for the higher values.

Thanks a bunch.
