1912年印度新金山中国渣打银行$50样票,无日期及编号,PMG 58,此子版别于PMG 记录中仅有2枚,另一枚为43As版别,应有加盖“样票”字样,本品无加盖,因此更为珍罕,所有“大葫芦”$50样票都甚其难得,编者首次遇见本版别,颜色深润明亮,不可多得之美品。
The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, $50, pattern, no date but subtype of 1912, without serial numbers, brown, black and blue, vignette showing agricultural activities at centre, 50 at corners, reverse green and black, bank building at centre, hole punch cancellations,(Pick 43Ar), PMG 58 Choice About Uncirculated. Only two notes of this subtype graded by PMG, with the other note given the 43As status, presumably with the SPECIMEN overprint. This note is without the overprint and therefore is unique in this form. All specimens of the Big Gourd $50 (so called because of the gourd like patterns at lower left and right) are rare and this is the only note the cataloguer has seen so far. A most attractive note with strong and vivid colours.
