Hong Kong Mercantile Bank of India, Ltd. 100 Dollars 28.3.1950 Pick 239d KNB15 PMG Choice Very Fine 35. Colonial Hong Kong has a plethora of rare and beautiful issues, printed by the famed British printers of the day. This handsome Waterlow & Sons note is seldom seen with this 1950 date. This is only the second we have had the privilege to offer. Additionally, the Choice condition of this note is quite remarkable. The Mercantile Bank of India's charter allowed for only small batches of banknote issuance, leading survivors to be scarce today. The serial numbers progress with each date, as opposed to starting from scratch, indicating how very few notes were actually printed across all dates. An important offering, and especially so considering the splendid grade and visual appeal of this fantastic rarity. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/hong-kong-mercantile-bank-of-india-ltd-100-dollars-2831950-pick-239d-knb15-pmg-choice-very-fine-35/a/4023-28143.s?type=CoinArchivesCurrency4023 HID08706262019 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
