| Anmerkungen |
The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China was one of the dominant exchange banks across British colonial trade routes, and its Hong Kong branch notes like this $50 were instruments of commerce rather than everyday currency — handling the kind of transaction volumes that moved between merchants, trading houses, and agency banks, not street-level retail. A $50 denomination in 1910 was a substantial sum; few outside the comprador class or foreign commercial firms would have handled one.
Pick 38 is among the rarer surviving pieces from this issuer's pre-WWI Hong Kong output. The bank merged into Standard Chartered in 1969, at which point institutional archives were significantly thinned.
