HONG KONG (SAR). Chartered Bank of India, Australia, & China. 5 Dollars

Early 1922 Rice Pounding $5 HONG KONG (SAR). Chartered Bank of India, Australia, & China. 5 Dollars, 1.7.1922. P-41. KNB21. PMG Choice Fine 15. A nice example of the 'Rice Pounding' 5 Dollars note dated 1922. This earlier variety, without 'FIVE' or 'WU' in red, features soft blue and orange colours, with the classical rice-pounding vignette on the left and a sampan on the right. A neat-looking note that has various minor repairs to the border, and which, on superficial inspection, do not extend into the design. Counterfeiting was a major problem, and it was addressed in May 1923 by the addition 'FIVE' in the lower centre underprint, making this the last year of the early type that began in 1911. PMG Comments "Repaired, Annotation." Estimate: $2,600 - $4,000. 1922年早期"舂米"伍圓 1922年印度新金山中國渣打銀行伍圓。 1922年"舂米"伍圓佳品。此早期版別，無紅色"FIVE"或"伍"字，呈柔和的藍色和橙色，左有經典舂米圖，右有舢舨。此鈔外觀整潔，邊緣有多處輕微修補，粗略檢查下並未延伸至圖案內部。此版偽造問題嚴重，官方於1923年5月在下方中央底紋加印"FIVE"字樣以作應對，使此年成為1911年始發早期版式之終結。PMG備註"修補，筆註"。
