HONG KONG. Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation. 50 Dollars, 1934-37. P-175d. PMG Choice Very Fine 35 Net. Ink, Annotation.
A difficult denomination for any large format Hong Kong note of this time period, regardless of issuer. These HSBC "Duress" notes tend to be the most frequented although they are by no means common. The BWC design is quite spectacular with multi-colored under-prints contrasting nicely to the dark green primary design. The drawbacks mentioned by PMG are very inoffensive. PMG Choice Very Fine 35 Net. Ink, Annotation.
Estimate: $800.00- $1200.00
