Lot: 2209

The HongKong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, pair of progressive proofs $50 cut from a unique sheet, ND (1968-83), blue on pink and yellow, coat of arms at right, reverse blue, old HSBC building, printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. Limited,
(Pick 184 for type), PMG 65EPQ and 66EPQ (TOP POP). Note that Bradbury Wilkinson are not known to produce remainders and these notes were cut from 'pre-final production' proofs sheets that were created for final approval from the printer and HSBC. Hence the remainder should be a proof. Exceedingly rare, a must-have for any serious collector of vintage Hong Kong banknotes. (2)
