The Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation, $10, SPECIMEN, 1.1.1909, no serial number, (Pick 162s), about uncirculated. An extremely rare and significant discovery note. Note that the only other 1909 example was sold at Spink in 2013, this is the second example known. No perforation for this much scarcer red reverse example. A more common green reverse type sold at Spink for HKD$120,000 just in January 2023. Superb example of the type and not to be missed!


1909年香港上海匯豐銀行10元樣票，無編號，AU品相，珍稀無比。此紅背版別的樣票目前已知僅有另一枚，並於2013年斯賓克拍賣會中售出，而較為常見的綠背版則剛於2023年1月斯賓克拍賣會中以12萬港元成交。本票稱得上萬中無一之美品，為高階藏家必收之選
