| Anmerkungen |
The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation's 1921 issues predate the formal standardization of the bank's note designs that came later in the decade. At this point HSBC was still one of three note-issuing banks in Hong Kong — alongside the Chartered Bank and the Mercantile Bank — and the $50 denomination would have seen relatively limited day-to-day circulation given the purchasing power involved. Significant commercial and trade transactions between Hong Kong and Shanghai were the primary driver for notes of this value.
P#168 is scarce in any grade. The cotton substrate used across this period is prone to the splitting at fold intersections that typically afflicts heavily circulated high-denomination notes, and most surviving examples show evidence of prior mounting or repair.
