Hong Kong Mercantile Bank of India, Ltd. 5 Dollars 29.11.1941 Pick 235d KNB11f PMG Extremely Fine 40. Unusually high grade is seen on this example, which most often presents itself closer to the Fine grade point. Minor restorations are noted on otherwise clean paper. Beautiful Waterlow & Sons engravings endear this series to collectors worldwide. Limited issuance is confirmed by the serial number scheme, which does not begin anew with each date. For example, this banknote is serial number 210814, and is the 6th date for the series, which began in 1912. Only 50,000 banknotes bear the 1941 date.
