Violet Reverse Large Buffalo $500 Specimen
(t) HONG KONG (SAR). The HongKong & Shanghai Banking Corporation. 500 Dollars, 1.1.1915. P-165s. KNB52S. Specimen. PMG Uncirculated 62.
Without serial number. A magnificent 'Large Buffalo' 500 Dollar specimen with the lilac reverse unique to the 1915 date. A note which causes great excitement whenever offered as no live issued believed extant, or at least available to private collectors. Fresh, 'as printed' colours on slightly toned paper, which is no wonder why this note is so popular with local collectors. Very rare and desirable given this grade and unique colour combination on the reverse.

背紫大水牛伍佰圓樣票
1915年香港上海匯豐銀行伍佰圓。
無編號。"大水牛"樣票極為精美，背面紫色，是 1915 年版本的獨特之處。由於沒有任何流通票，或者至少沒有私人收藏家擁有，因此這張鈔票每次出現都會引起轟動。色彩鮮艷，紙張略微泛黃，深受當地收藏家喜愛。鑑於其評級和背面獨特的印色，非常罕見且受歡迎。 (t) On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collector's items of Chinese origin, including bullion and numismatic coins and banknotes.
