HONG KONG (SAR). Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation. 1000 Dollars

1977 HSBC A Prefix $1000 in Gem Grade. HONG KONG (SAR). Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation. 1000 Dollars, 31.3.1977. P-190a. KNB77a. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ. Attractive serial number A333232. This 'Large Golden Lion' $1000 note was the first of this denomination to be issued for general use. $1000 bills were prepared in the 19th century, but it remains doubtful whether any were issued; even so, the purchasing power was so enormous that they were probably used as interbank transfers. This note is a coveted A prefix note with very attractive serial numbers, and a classic note for collectors of Hong Kong banknotes. Estimate: $2,000 - $3,000. 1977年匯豐銀行A字軌壹仟圓，特選級美品 1977年香港上海匯豐銀行壹仟圓。 趣味號A333232。此"大金獅"壹仟圓為香港首度公開流通發行之仟圓大鈔。十九世紀雖曾印備仟圓鈔，但流通與否仍存疑；縱或有之，因購買力極其龐大，多僅作同業轉帳之用。此鈔帶極受青睞之首"A"字軌，加上近乎全3號之趣味編號，為香港紙鈔藏家必備之經典名品。

Estimate:£756.74
