The HongKong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, pair of progressive proofs $5 cut from a unique sheet, ND (1959-75), brown on pale green and orange underprint, reclining maiden at right, coat of arms at centre, reverse brown and multicolour, bank building at centre, printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. Limited,
(Pick 182 for type), PMG 65EPQ and 67EPQ respectively. Note that Bradbury Wilkinson are not known to produce remainders and these notes were cut from 'pre-final production' proofs sheets that were created for final approval from the printer and HSBC. Hence the remainder should be a proof. Exceedingly rare, a must-have for any serious collector of vintage Hong Kong banknotes. (2)


1959-1975年匯豐銀行伍圓樣票一對，無日期，分別評PMG65EPQ 及67EPQ。雖然被PMG定性為庫存票，但印刷商布拉德伯里威爾金森公司一貫以來沒有庫存票流出，而此品乃從量印前予匯豐銀行審批之最後原張樣票裁剪出來，值得留意，進階香港紙鈔藏家必收
