Auction: CSS123A - Hong Kong and World Banknotes and Coins
Lot: 120

Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, Hong Kong, colour trial $100, 1.2.1912, no serial number, blue (issued note in green), hillside and waterfall scene at left, arms at centre, hillside and temple scene at right,
(Pick 45cts), PMG 64, previously mounted. PMG Census SINGLE TOP POP, one of only 4 examples graded for this type. A more elusive type in the Hong Kong banknote series due to its extreme scarcity in issued notes; specimens and colour trial as just hard to come by. This lovely example in the rich slate blue colour sure can fill the gap of an original genuine Chartered $100 in any advanced collection.
