Hong Kong, HSBC 27.3.1969 P-179f PMG Gem UNC 65 EPQ 500 Dollars
This classic type has always been scarce in the best of grades, thanks to its large format, which caused most examples to immediately become folded upon issuance. Gems are scarce, especially for this date, which was the final date of this type (those dated 1968 appear to be more available in the best of grades, although even those remain scarce at this grade level). An important type that features the portrait of Sir Thomas Jackson on the front, the third Chief Manager of HSBC.
