Auction: CSS118A - Hong Kong, Macau, World Banknotes and Coins
Lot: 142

Standard Chartered Bank, Hong Kong, unissued $500, 1.1.1985, serial number A000000, without watermark at left, signature titles "Financial Controller" and "Area General Manager" which is inline with the 1985 issues NOT like the 1988 issues where the title is "Area Financial Controller",
(Pick unlisted), PMG 64, printer's annotation 'PROOF NO.624/2'. Note this is an unissued date for the $500 as first issued date is 1988. Also without watermark at left, therefore likely a first complete design proof while preparing release of the other 1985 dated notes.


1985年渣打銀行未發行伍佰圓，編號 A000000，無水印，簽名頭銜為「財務總監」及「區域總經理」，與1985年發行的版本一致，而不像 1988 年發行的版本那樣，頭銜為“區域財務總監”，PMG 64，有印刷廠書寫‘PROOF No.624/2 ’。「長棍鳳」首發年應為1988年，並非1985年。因此很可能是在準備發行其他 1985 年鈔票時制造的試印票。
