Alla auktioner / Mynt & Sedlar / HONG KONG (SAR). Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation. 500 Dollars
HONG KONG (SAR). Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation. 500 Dollars, 31.3.1974. P-Unlisted. Artist's Rendition. PMG Encapsulated. The third of three exciting pairs of hand-painted, unadopted artists' renditions for the 1973 HSBC $500. The obverse, in purple-brown, features the Bank arms at left, Bank titles upper centre, and the characters 'Wu Bai' in the watermark at right. The reverse, in tan and brown, features the profile of one of the HSBC lions gazing out over the old HSBC building. This pair's design is the closest to that of the final issued note. As a working draft, it lacks the central security guilloche found on issued notes. Undoubtedly, a printer's model, either existing or now lost, would have displayed that guilloche with finer workmanship. Notably, the '31 March 1974' date never appeared on the Humpback Grouper $500s, which were issued only in 1973, 1975, and 1976. This piece suggests that artists' renditions sufficed for presentation to Bank officials; once the main elements were approved, a finer printer's model would have been commissioned to refine the smaller details. This lot is the last of three evolving designs. While each is a precious, unique item, acquiring and displaying all three together will place the fortunate buyer at the very pinnacle of Hong Kong pre-production materials. Estimate: $10,000 - $15,000. 1974年香港上海匯豐銀行伍佰圓。手繪圖稿。 此為1973年滙豐銀行伍佰圓手繪未採納設計稿三組中之第三組。正面呈紫棕調，左為銀行徽章，中上列銀行名稱，右側水印區標以"伍佰"字樣。背面以棕褐雙色勾勒，描繪滙豐銅獅側影，凝望舊滙豐大樓之景。此對設計最接近最終發行版本。作為工作草案，其缺少流通鈔上之中央防偽扭索紋。毋庸置疑，當時存在（或已散佚）之印刷商樣稿，必以更精細工藝呈現此紋樣。尤須注意，"1974年3月31日"之日期從未出現於實際發行之"老鼠斑"伍佰圓鈔票上——該版僅於1973、1975及1976年發行。此稿顯示，手繪稿已足供銀行決策層審閱；一旦核心元素獲准，便會委製更精緻之印刷商樣稿，以修飾細節。本拍品為三組演進設計中的最後一組。雖每件皆為獨一無二之珍品，然若能將三者匯聚並陳，得藏者必當躋身香港鈔票前製物料收藏之巔峰。
