The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, $5, Shanghai, 29.5.1913, serial number FS89552, green and red, bank arms upper centre, '$5' to each side, handsigned at lower left, reverse green,
(Pick S184), PMG 20 Very Fine (Rust Damage). The earliest date recorded in Pick for the $5 is 20.1.1914 whilst it is known for the $10. I can only surmise that this is a hitherto unrecorded date and the earliest for this type note. Rare!
