Hong Kong Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corp. 100 Dollars 1.1.1901 Pick 153s KNB41S Specimen PMG Choice Uncirculated 64. HSBC is the most iconic and famed issuer of banknotes in Hong Kong, and as such it has an extensive global following of dedicated collectors seeking its banknotes and Specimen. Turn of the 20th century types, especially higher denominations, are almost prohibitively scarce, with this $100 being no exception. At the time of cataloging, a mere one issued note and five Specimen are graded by PMG. This excellent example is almost fully printed; it is just lacking serial numbers and the signature at left is replaced by a handwritten "CANCELLED" in red fountain pen ink. Likewise, there is a perforated cancellation at the bottom center that is carefully placed. We have offered this denomination only once prior. One of the rare designs for this issuer and a worthy offering.
