An Immensely Rare 'Cheque' 5 Dollars from the 1880s!
(t) HONG KONG (SAR). The Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation. 5 Dollars, 1884-89. P-137. PMG Fine 12.
Serial 192701. Green, Bank arms at upper centre, '$5' on each side and also central in orange, faded hand signed signature at lower left, printed on lower right, reverse red, Bank title, arms and denomination. An immensely rare 5 Dollar note from the late 19th century issued by HSBC that has seen circulation but original in the sense that it has not been cleaned or repaired. Minor rust traces visible on the reverse. A miniscule total of 4 notes graded by PMG, three in PMG-12 and 1 in PMG-35 means this type is missing in most collections of Hong Kong banknotes. Now it's the time to fill the missing space in your album! PMG Comments "Rust".
