| Opmerkingen |
The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China was one of the great Eastern exchange banks, chartered by Royal Charter in 1853 and operating branches from Shanghai to Singapore to Bombay. Its Hong Kong dollar notes competed directly with those of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, and the $100 denomination was very much a trade instrument — used between merchants and compradors rather than in everyday retail transactions.
Pick 25 is among the genuinely scarce entries in the Chartered Bank series. Few examples surface at auction, and surviving specimens are predominantly from bank archives rather than actual circulation.
