The Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China (銀行理滙國中山金新度印) series of China Foreign Banks in the World Currency contains 65 distinct entries.

The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China (CBI) was founded by Scotsman James Wilson following the grant of a royal charter by Queen Victoria on 29 December 1853. It was an overseas exchange bank, based in and controlled from the City of London. It was established to take advantage of the end of the East India Company’s monopoly in 1853. It opened its Shanghai branch in 1858, and was authorized to issue notes in Hong Kong 1862, a privilege it continues to exercise (as Standard Chartered) to modern day.

Take care not to confuse these Chinese notes for similar notes issued in Hong Kong (Hong Kong B301 - B399), distinguished by the city of issue at lower center front.

All notes from the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China have signatures of an accountant and manager. The earlier notes of all denominations had both signatures handwritten. Beginning in the late 1890s, the signature of the manager was often printed at lower right front, whereas the signature of the accountant at lower left front was handwritten.
