The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China was one of the handful of note-issuing foreign banks operating in Hong Kong under the colonial system that permitted such privileges — a legacy of the 1845 royal charter that predates the colony's own monetary authority by decades. The $500 denomination was never a public circulation note in any practical sense; it functioned almost entirely for interbank settlement and large mercantile transfers, the kind of transactions dominating Hong Kong's entrepôt trade with the Chinese interior.
Survival rate is extremely low. High-denomination notes of this type were typically cancelled and destroyed once their settlement purpose was complete, meaning genuinely uncancelled examples are exceptional finds. Pick #40 listings rarely appear at auction.
