Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China, Hong Kong, specimen proof $100, 1.11.1952, serial number Y/M 680000, (Pick 57cs), PMG 25, various printer's annotations, previously mounted, pinholes. Specimens or proofs for this earlier type are extremely rare, with only a total of 6 graded on PMG census. An interesting example providing an glimpse of the note design process. From the serial number, we can also confirm this is the late note of the series. With the 1954 issue starting from 680001. Extremely rare and important.


1952年印度新金山中國渣打銀行壹佰員「老爺車」樣票， 編號 Y/M 680000，PMG 25，多種印刷廠書寫，有黏貼痕跡，有針孔。「老爺車」早期樣鈔或試模樣票均極為罕見，僅有6枚曾被PMG評級，非常有意思的一枚，可以讓我們一覽鈔票設計的過程。1954年發行的鈔票編號從680001開始，因此從編號可知此枚於1952年系列的最後一枚。非常罕有
