HONG KONG. Mercantile Bank of India. $100, 3.1.1958. P-242s.Specimen printed by W&S. A seldom seen denomination with grade as issued notes known of this design generally reside in poor quality. The specimen offered here goes against that trend with sensational color and detail throughout. The note is seen with only handling and a corner fold at the lower right along with a single pinhole which likely negates the "EPQ," designation from PMG. Original paper is otherwise seen and the note also benefits from placement of both signatures at the Account and Manager titles. The first we can recall offering in this bright specimen form and a great pairing to the $500 note we are offering in the next lot.PMG About Uncirculated 55
