1930年有利银行壹佰员样票，无编号，红色，中心图案为寺庙和海港景色，PMG 64EPQ。“大花园”是该系列之最高面值，且因其超过40年的流通历史而成为本地最知名的纸钞设计之一，但一般来说，此版式的战前行钞均十分罕见，即使遇到，品相也往往强差人意。因此这枚1930年的样票是收藏家获得早期未流通票的唯一机会！ 翻查PMG评级纪录，不难发现本品除了是唯一冠军分之外，更是仅有连EPQ级别的一枚，尤其珍稀。
Mercantile Bank of India, Hong Kong, specimen $100, 1.1.1930, no serial numbers, red, temple and harbour scene at centre,(Pick 239s), PMG 64EPQ. Highest denomiation of the series and one of the most well known design due to its long lifespan over 40 years. But generally any pre war issued examples are rare and if encountered are in inferior condition. Therefore this 1930 example is the only chance for collectors to obtain an early AND uncirculated example. PMG census SINGLE TOP POP and the ONLY with EPQ designation!
