HONG KONG (SAR). Mercantile Bank Limited. 100 Dollars, 28.7.1964.

HONG KONG (SAR). Mercantile Bank Limited. 100 Dollars, 28.7.1964. P-244a. KNB20a. PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45. A moderately circulated example of this popular 'Map' 100 Dollars with good preservation of paper quality and inks. A scarce and highly sought-after first date of issue in much better grade than typically seen for this type. This is one of those classic type notes that belongs in every serious Hong Kong collection, but most type collectors will settle for one of the (still very scarce) later dates. Your cataloger has attempted to put together a rough estimate of the quantities issued of the various dates of this type in the past, and our best guess is that just 100,000 notes of the first date were issued into circulation, a minuscule quantity compared to, for example, the $100 from HSBC issued around the same time. An important offering for the date specialist and one to be considered. Estimate: $1,500 - $2,000. 1964年香港有利銀行壹佰圓。 中度流通之熱門"地圖"壹佰圓，紙質與油墨皆保存良好。為珍罕且備受追捧之首發年份，品相遠勝此版別常見狀態。此乃香港紙鈔藏家必備之經典版別。然多數藏家為求齊全，往往僅擇其（雖亦稀缺的）較晚年份入藏。編者曾嘗試估算此版各年份之發行量，推算首年流通發行量僅約100,000張，與同期匯豐銀行發行的壹佰圓鈔相比，數量微乎其微。對於蒐集年份之藏家，此乃不容錯過之重要精品。
