Description
Hong Kong Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) $50 1.1.1934 Duress Note Pick 175dA duress note in absolutely lovely condition. After the fall of Hong Kong, Japanese officials forced accountants to sign and issue these notes from the HSBC, which were used along with confiscated money to buy war supplies in neutral Macau.
After the war, the government and bank honored these notes, but because many thought the redemption period was temporary, almost all were returned to the bank. This is an example that has outstanding embossing and paper quality, and deserves every point of its PMG Very Fine 30 EPQ grade.
