Straits Settlements Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, London and China Penang $100 ND (1860-89) Pick S136pd Printer's Design. A simply magnificent design. Private notes issued for the Straits Settlements are rare, as the Government of the Straits Settlements quickly took over control. This note issued by the Chartered Mercantile Bank shares many design features with contemporary notes issued for other regions. This example printed by Perkins Bacon with their iconic security plate can be considered a Proof. Embossing remains magnificent on this proof which retains the original condition and design of a new note. The annotation along the bottom helps date the note to August 1874. PMG Choice Uncirculated 63.
Estimate: 40000-50000 USD
