| Opmerkingen |
The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China issued a Hong Kong dollar series in this period primarily to serve the trading houses and merchants operating along the treaty port network. The 100-dollar denomination was essentially a commercial instrument — not something passing through ordinary hands — used in large remittance transactions and inter-firm settlements rather than retail trade.
Pick 39 is among the scarcer pieces from this issuer. The Chartered Bank's Hong Kong notes of this era were printed by Waterlow & Sons in London, with sheets shipped out for signature and issue at the Hong Kong branch. Surviving examples almost always show heavy use or cancellation, reflecting genuine commercial passage rather than reserve holding.
