BANKNOTES, HONG KONG Charted Bank of India, Australia & China. 10-Dollars, 1929. (Pick 50). In PMG holder graded VF-20 Net, Repaired, Rust, evenly worn with couple major creases, but still has choice eye appeal for the grade, even the rust seen here and there actually adds a warm feeling to the mellow toning. A very impressive example of this rare design with exquisite details.
This note is almost a piece of art rather than national currency. With advanced printing technology Waterlow & Sons Ltd was able to present two vivid waterfront scenes and a vignette of British heraldry. Extreme rarity, perfectly balanced design and incredible details have always been the reasons for collectors to pay premium prices for this note.

Estimate: $ 4,000
