Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China, Hong Kong, remainder $100, partial date 190-, no serial numbers, black, pink and purple, manager signature Cochrane at right, perforated cancelled,
(Pick 39r), Currently two manager signature types for the $100 are known; Cochrane and Dickson. Much like the $50, previously a 1910 example is noted and the first "190-" example was sold in Spink China in 2019 for HKD500,000 hammer. Therefore this is the second known example. Also this example with W.W. Sprague perforation is likely for internal use at the printer. An issued example bearing "Dickson" signature is in the Hong Kong Museum of History archive, and at the moment there are no issued "Cochrane" example known. PMG 50 About Uncirculated, selvage included, cancelled, toning.


190-年印度新金山中國匯理銀行100元庫存票，無編號，由當時香港分行總經理Cochrane親筆簽名，有打孔注銷。目前為止，該版別已知的簽名只有Cochrane及Dickson。同一版別的紙幣在2019年斯賓克拍賣會中以500，000港元成交，而此票是記錄中僅有的第二枚。另外，票上亦有打孔標示‘W.W. Sprague’，應該為印刷廠作內部用標記。香港歷史博物館的檔案庫中有一枚該版別帶有‘Dickson’簽名的發行票，迄今為止未有‘Cochrane’簽名的發行票記錄。PMG 50，帶紙邊，被注銷，泛黃
