A remarkable large and brightly colour specimen note intricately engraved with a harvesting scene at centre and Bank arms at upper ecentre. Deep black inks overlie an arresting combination of orange and light green printing. The reverse is a soothing green with a old Bank building in soft purple at centre. The shape of the central vignette gives rise to its local colloquial name The Gourd and it considered as one of the holy grails in Hong Kong banknote collecting. Issued notes are rarely encountered and specimen notes are even rarer with only three examples graded by PMG for this specific Pick designation. For collectors who prefer high grade notes and not necessarily issued examples this is a perfect option to complete your collection of post 1911 Chartered Bank banknotes!
