Lot: 201

Chinese Imperial Government, 1896 5% Gold Loan, unissued bond for £25, countersigned by Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, large format piece, blue with multicoloured underprint, with full coupons sheet, extremely fine and extremely rare.

Bonds issued by the Deutsch Bank are quite common but this is the first time the cataloguer has seen any issued by HSBC.
The follwing piece is one of several lots that have been found quite recently. They reputedly came from the City some years ago and were probably retained as specimens in a banking office. All others from the lot are highlighted in blue in the text.
