Description

Hong Kong Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China 5 Dollars 1.11.1918 Pick 41 KNB21 PMG Very Fine 25 Net. Waterlow & Sons designed and printed this stunning banknote series, and today, any extant example is coveted by collectors. This specific banknote has been restored, as it has a curious history. Interestingly, it was "raised", meaning the denomination was adjusted higher by clever craftsmen. The note has been restored back to its original denomination. The designs, colors, and paper all remain in good order despite the note being altered twice. Interesting, historic, and scarce.
