Hong Kong Government $1 "Purple Emperor" (1936, ND), PMG 65.
Product Description
This 1936 Hong Kong Government George VI Purple Dollar banknote, Pick #312, serial number U451626, was printed by the British BWC Bradbury Wilkinson Printing House. The obverse features a portrait of a young George VI, with the words "Hong Kong Government" and the Chinese characters for "One Dollar" in both traditional Chinese characters on the reverse, along with the signature of Financial Secretary S. Caine. The reverse is predominantly purplish-red, with a full-page radiating, high-precision engraved security scroll pattern, and the inscription "One Dollar" in the center. It is a classic pre-WWII British Crown Hong Kong Dollar banknote, and mint condition examples are extremely rare.
Certified and encapsulated by PMG, an internationally recognized authority on banknote authentication:
- Graded 65 EPQ (Gem Uncirculated), high-quality virgin paper, banknote surface intact without creases, stains, or yellowing due to aging, with complete engraving details; the seal comes with a unique verification QR code, allowing online verification of the authentication file via the PMG website using the serial number, globally certified and guaranteed authentic.
- Thickened PMG-specific grading plastic casing effectively isolates the banknote from dust, moisture, and oxidation, maintaining its original condition for a long time and preventing the brittleness and discoloration of thinner banknotes from earlier years.
