A nice example of the large sized allegorical maiden, 500 Dollars, dated 1930. The female figure is probably 'Harvest and Abundance', given the sheaf of wheat beside her. The 500 Dollars from HSBC is a large format note in rich purple and light orange underprint, with two hand drawn signatures at the lower left and right, the reverse showing the Hong Kong head office building. Although the note has undergone moderate circulation, it still has a very pleasing eye appeal, is relatively free from major problems, and is untampered in any way. A nice example of a very challenging type.
