1924年印度新金山中国渣打银行100元样票，「独木桥」，无编号，PMG 55，香港纸钞热门版别之一。此版别发行期短，假票横行，今人常误当假票为真票，正因为缺乏参照的样本。本场拍卖极为难得地集合了此钞票的正式样票、试色样票及一枚老假票，诚属千载难逢机会，据资深藏家考究，这款100元的样票、试色票及流通票存世各只有3枚，有兴趣的藏家们万勿错过。。 The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, $100, specimen, 1.5.1924, without serial numbers, green, black and orange, Bank arms at upper centre, denomination at each corner, vignette of walkers crossing a wooden bridge at left and hillside walkers at right, reverse red and black, Bank building at centre, four small hole punch cancellations,(Pick 45s), PMG 55 About Uncirculated. One of the most famous Hong Kong notes that, so far, has not been seen in fully issued form and almost never in specimen form until this offering. This type is infamous for its contempory forgeries similar to the note in the following lot. This catalogue is unique in that the colour trial, true colour specimen and contemporary forgery will be offered!
