Auction: CSS123A - Hong Kong and World Banknotes and Coins
Lot: 120

Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, Hong Kong, colour trial $100, 1.2.1912, no serial number, blue (issued note in green), hillside and waterfall scene at left, arms at centre, hillside and temple scene at right,
(Pick 45cts), PMG 64, previously mounted. PMG Census SINGLE TOP POP, one of only 4 examples graded for this type. A more elusive type in the Hong Kong banknote series due to its extreme scarcity in issued notes; specimens and colour trial as just hard to come by. This lovely example in the rich slate blue colour sure can fill the gap of an original genuine Chartered $100 in any advanced collection.


1912年印度新金山中國渣打銀行壹佰員試色樣票，「獨木橋」，無編號，藍色（發行鈔為綠色），左側為山坡瀑佈景，中央為國徽，右側為山坡寺廟景。PMG 64，曾裝裱。 PMG評級單張最高，此版別僅有4張評級。由於正式發行紙幣極為稀少，此版別在香港紙幣系列中較為罕見；樣票和試印票均難得一見。這張色澤深邃的「獨木橋」樣票，足以彌補任何高級藏家收藏中缺少一張真發行鈔的遺憾。
