HONG KONG (SAR). Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation. 10 Dollars

HONG KONG (SAR). Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation. 10 Dollars, 1.1.1938. P-178a. KNB62m. PMG About Uncirculated 50. K prefix. Lovely large sized Ceres 10 Dollars in AUNC with a hand-drawn signature. Pre WW2 Hong Kong notes have always been popular with collectors, as that was the watershed between hand signed and printed signatures, together with the fact that many of the early notes were forcefully converted into Japanese Military Yen notes, forcing them out of circulation. Here we have the last year of the hand-signed $10 bearing the K prefix, a stunning note with great colours and light handling. Estimate: $700 - $1,000. 1938年香港上海匯豐銀行拾圓。 K字軌。手簽"豐收女神"大棉胎拾圓，動人AUNC級佳品。二戰前香港紙鈔向來極受藏家青睞，蓋因其為手簽與機印簽名的分水嶺，加上多數早期紙鈔在淪陷時期被強制兌換為"日本軍用手票"而遭回收退出流通。本品為手簽拾圓之最後發行年份，帶 K字軌，色彩鮮麗奪目，僅見輕微經手痕跡，令人讚嘆。

Estimate:£0.75
