1880年代香港亚西亚国银行伍佰圆元正面票样 PMG Choice Unc 63 Asiatic Banking Corporation, Hong Kong, specimen $500

1880年代香港亚西亚国银行500元正面样票，没有编号，PMG63。科伦坡，康提，上海，新加坡分行发行的钞票比较常见，但於香港发行的存世不多，系列中最高面额的500元更是少之又少，香港和英联邦国家纸钞藏家绝对不容错过。Asiatic Banking Corporation, Hong Kong, specimen $500, Hong Kong, 18- (ca. 1880), no serial numbers, uniface, orange-brown and white, arms top centre, value at centre and at each corner,(Pick 15 for type), PMG 63 Choice Uncirculated. Over the years, branches like Colombo, Kandy, Singapore and Shanghai are usually seen. But Hong Kong issue examples are far and in-between, let alone this highest denomination $500 example in orange. Less than a handful of examples are known. An important piece for any Hong Kong and Commonwealth collector.
