The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China was one of the great British overseas banks operating under Royal Charter, competing directly with the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation across treaty ports and colonial outposts throughout Asia. By 1912, its network stretched from Calcutta to Shanghai, and high-denomination notes like this fifty-dollar piece circulated primarily in trade and commercial settlement — not among ordinary depositors.
Pick 43 is a genuinely scarce type. The Chartered Bank's pre-war Asian dollar issues have always suffered attrition from the climate, from wartime disruptions, and from the bank's own periodic note recalls. Survivors in any grade are thinly held.
