$5 note for £50,000?

An historic Hong Kong banknote with two Scottish signatories, worth five dollars when it was issued in 1860, is expected to fetch up to £50,000 at auction later this month.

The recently discovered five dollar note is the earliest known fully issued banknote of any denomination for Hong Kong.

Issued in 1860, it bears the signatures of manager John Mcdouall, from Stranraer in Wigtownshire, and accountant James Webster, from Crail in Fife.
