(t) HONG KONG. 10 Dollars, 1998. PCGS AU-53.
cf. KM-70 (date not recorded). An INCREDIBLY RARE issue, this date is not known to exist. 1993 is scarce, and 1994-95 are both common, while 1996 was not initially released for circulation, only to be released eventually in 2014. 1998, however, is rather unusual in that it would occur after the return of Hong Kong to Chinese authority following the end of the 99-year lease to the United Kingdom. In any event, a slightly circulated example of a perplexing modern rarity.
Estimate: $2000 - $4000
