1924年香港有利银行伍拾圆。HONG KONG (SAR). Mercantile Bank of India Limited. 50 Dollars, 1.5.1924. P-238. KNB14b. PMG Very Fine 30.
藏界瑰宝，1924年香蕉船伍拾圆，殿堂级珍品。设计精美的钞票，正面有钱纳利风格的镇江焦山弧形图案，由此得名香蕉船，背面则为带翼头盔的墨丘利神。左下可见隐约可辨之手签，右下经理印刷签名。整体观感良好，未见重大问题，如严重的结构缺陷、大量标注或修补。PMG标注微裂，幸未延伸至图案内，有渍淡化也非常见大碍。对于认真的香港纸币藏家而言，是一张关键且重要的钞票，大多重要集藏均缺此票。上一次拍卖类似的藏品是在2018年4月，当时一枚CVF品相的钞票以1,140,000港元（约145,000美元）成交，含买家佣金。PMG备注裂痕，有渍淡化。
Phenomenally Rare and Tantalising Banana Boat $50 of 1924. A finely designed note with a curved vignette of Jiao Mountain, Zhenjiang, in the style of Chinnery, giving rise to its nickname Banana Boat on the obverse and Mercury with a winged helmet on the reverse. A faint, but still discernible, hand-signed signature is found on the lower left, and a printed signature of the Manager is located on the lower right. The note retains good appeal, without any major problems such as gross structural defects, extensive annotations, or repairs. PMG notes very minor tears, which do not extend into the design, and lightened stains, which are not usually considered major problems. A key and important note for the serious collector of Hong Kong banknotes, and one that is missing in many major collections. The last time a similar piece was offered was in April 2018, when a piece in choice very fine was sold for HKD$1,140,000 (approximately USD145,000), including the Buyers Premium. PMG Comments Tears, Stains Lightened.
