Hong Kong Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corp. 10 Dollars 1.1.1901 Pick 151s KNB39s Specimen PMG Choice Uncirculated 63. A fantastic and rare second denomination from Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corp.'s series of 1900-1902, this note was part of the first series to use one of the "Big Three" printers in the U.K. The emission was short lived, and phased out of circulation beginning in 1905, when the Waterlow & Sons types began circulating. Of importance, this type is almost identical to the emissions used in other parts of mainland China, such as Shanghai, but is differentiated by its color schemes. We have not previously offered this type for Hong Kong, in any format. One signature is missing, along with serial numbers. An annotation at back is seen, along with a tastefully applied perforated cancellation. Pretty engravings by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Company are seen on both sides of this very rare denomination. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/hong-kong-hongkong-and-shanghai-banking-corp-10-dollars-111901-pick-151s-knb39s-specimen-pmg-choice-uncirculated/a/4023-28112.s?type=CoinArchivesCurrency4023 HID08706262019 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
