1911-22年印度新金山中国汇理银行壹佰圆。(t) CHINA--FOREIGN BANKS. Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China. 100 Dollars, ND (1911-22). P-S187. S/M#Y11-33c. PMG Very Fine 25.上海地名，此枚最高面额钞票手写日期虽难辨识，然据其鲜明原色与直挺纸身推测，应属未流通库存票。流通当时，百元乃天价巨额，致其流通极少，多经谨慎摺存，故纸张强度与墨色保存远胜常见同版。左下角手写签名清晰可辨，除预期流通痕迹与PMG备注”微裂”外无重大瑕疵，属藏家竞逐之高面额逸品。PMG评级位列亚军分，仅一枚获评更高之35分，足见其稀。 <font size=-8><strong>(t)</strong><em>This lot was manufactured in China (including Hong Kong), Canada, Mexico, Russia or Republic of Belarus and was sourced from outside the United States for this auction after tariffs were enacted by the United States.

A superb issued example of the highest denomination 100 Dollars. The handwritten date is not visible, and we cannot tell whether it is just faced or a grossly mishandled remainder, though the former assumption is more logical, and perhaps some special lightning or technology can reveal the truth. 100 Dollars was a huge sum of money, which meant the note never really saw much circulation, and when it did, it would always be folded and stored carefully, thus preserving much of its original colors and overall paper body strength. The hand-signed signature at the lower left is clearly discernible, an observation that always increases local collectors interest and is devoid of any problems outside of whats expected for the grade. A highly desirable high denomination in issued form. One of two notes in second top pop, bested by a single note in Choice Very Fine 35.
