(t) HONG KONG (SAR). Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation. 100 Dollars, 1.1.1987. P-194as. KNB82S. Archival Specimen. PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
Serial number DU000000. An extremely archival specimen with the small perforated 'SPECIMEN OF NO VALUE' instead of the red 'SPECIMEN' overprint. Experienced collectors of Hong Kong specimens will have come across many examples of the red overprint but rarely, if ever, this perforated type. As such, we think this note should command a hefty premium but we will let the experienced and astute collectors decide.

1987年香港上海匯豐銀行壹佰圓。檔案樣票。
編號DU000000。極罕見的檔案樣票，中央以打孔"SPECIMEN OF NO VALUE"代替紅色樣票加蓋。香港資深樣鈔藏家對紅色樣票加蓋屢見不鮮，但遇過打孔形式的相信為數不多。我們相信將引來資深、精明的藏家為其一擲千金。 (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. This lot was manufactured in China and was sourced from outside the United States for this auction after the tariffs were enacted. Accordingly, any client who wishes to take delivery of this item within the United States will be subject to a 7.5% import tariff plus a processing fee of 0.3464% (minimum $31.67 / maximum $614.35). Please note, this is not, and is not intended to be, a complete description of the applicable import tariffs and buyer remains fully liable for and agrees to promptly pay all tariffs and fees relating to the import of these items into the United States and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor will have any responsibility to pay any applicable tariffs or fees. Please consult your tax adviser with any questions. Furthermore, any lots subject to an import tariff will be shipped directly from our Hong Kong offices and shipments to the United States will be subject to our international shipping chart.

Estimate: $1500.00 - $2500.00
