1958年香港有利银行壹佰圆。(t) HONG KONG (SAR). Mercantile Bank Limited. 100 Dollars, 12.8.1958. P-242a. KNB18b. PMG Very Fine 20.1958年有利银行大型壹佰圆，为1912年至1960年长寿系列的最后发行日期之一。红框钱纳利画风小图配背面墨丘利神像。经重度流通，然未经人为处理状态更显珍贵。有利银行是香港最小型的发钞银行之一，其印制量远逊其他发钞银行如滙丰银行，因此存世品极度稀缺。 <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.

An iconic design with a vignette in Chinnerys style encased by an ornate red frame, the reverse red and black, vignette of Mercury at the center. Although the note circulated heavily, it is natural and has not been altered in any way, adding to its appeal. Mercantile Bank was one of the smallest note-issuing banks in Hong Kong, and its print totals were much smaller than competing banks such as HSBC, making survivors of many types quite scarce.NoFrom the Peter She Collection.
