Hong Kong Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corp. 100 Dollars 1.1.1923 Pick 169bs KNB57S Specimen PMG Uncirculated 62. Superb design elements and tremendous rarity catapult this denomination to the top of many "want lists" across the world. Waterlow & Sons enthusiasts will immediately recognize the telltale traits that make their products immediately recognizable. It has been almost a decade since an issued example of this banknote sold at auction, leaving Specimen as the most realistic alternative to acquire this type. Hole punched cancellations and red overprints were added in lieu of manuscript signatures and serial numbers. Minor restoration is mentioned on the back of the third party holder, as this large sized Specimen was most likely adhered to some backing. We have not offered this type previously, making this an important opportunity to acquire a rarely-seen design.
