The opening chapter in the development of modern banking in Shanghai began when the Oriental Bank established an agency in the city in 1847 and became the first foreign-funded bank in China. The bank was granted a royal charter by the British government to set up offices and engage in banking services in any region east of the Cape of Good Hope in 1851, when it changed its name to the Oriental Bank Corporation. This share certificate issued by the bank has a face value of 25 pounds sterling. ■資料：香港歷史博物館
