1912年滙丰银行「茶场」100元样票,无编号,PMG 53有针孔及有黄。独特之处为背面顔色。此枚1912年100元背面为红色俗称「背红」,然而Pick及KN Boon参考书则説明红色背面仅为1909年版别的设计。因此,图录编辑者认为此乃是独特的一枚,比其他日期更为稀罕,应招来激烈的竞争。
The Hongkong and Shanghai Coporation, $100, 1.1.1912, specimen, without serial numbers, red-orange an black, tea production scenes at left and right, SPECIMEN overprinted in red, reverse red, the old Bank building at centre,(Pick 169as), PMG 53 About Uncirculated (Closed Pinholes, Toning). This note is highly unusual in that both Pick and KN Boon list the red reverse for the 1909 date only. This 1912 red reverse subtype is believed to be unique at the time of cataloguing and therefore should command a large premium over the other dates. A truly magnificent note
