Description

Striking early 20th-century bill of exchange issued in Batavia (modern-day Jakarta, Indonesia) by the Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation. The use of beautifully engraved colored forms by colonial banks such as HSBC in Southeast Asia is of special interest to collectors of British Empire banking, South-East Asian financial history, and early HSBC documentation.

This example reflects the global operations of HSBC in the early 20th century and the bustling trade activity between the Far East and Europe via colonial finance hubs like Batavia.
