The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China was one of the great Eastern exchange banks of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, operating under a royal charter granted in 1853. A $500 note was never a retail instrument — denominations at this level moved between merchants, compradors, and trading houses, particularly in Hong Kong and the treaty ports of China where the bank maintained active branches.
Pick 26 is among the rarest surviving issues of this series. High-denomination notes of this type were typically cancelled or destroyed once transactions cleared, leaving almost no examples in private hands today.
