CHINA--EMPIRE

Rare Ta-Ching Govt. Bank 1 Dollar Yunnan Branch

(t) CHINA--EMPIRE. Ta-Ching Government Bank. 1 Dollar, 1906. P-A75P. PMG Very Fine 25.

(S/M#T10). Printed by CMPA. Yunnan. English on face with Chinese on reverse. A supremely rare note that is found in appealing Very Fine grade. The original printed issued place of "Kalgan" has been overprinted with a thin red line, with "Yunnan" printed below it in red ink. The face of the note displays an ornate border design, which is in dark blue ink, along with arms at top of above center in dark blue ink. The reverse displays an ornate design at center in a light purple ink, with an intricate green border design. Seen with red overprints on the reverse as well. Just two 10 Dollar notes from this branch have surfaced in auctions, with no One Dollar notes appearing in public auctions. Scarce, and we expect to see spirited bidding on this note as notes of this caliber are tightly held onto, and it may be sometime before this note trades hands again. PMG lists this note as the sole encapsulated for the pick variety. PMG Pop 1/None finer.

稀有大清銀行兌換劵壹圓雲南分行

光緒三十二年大清銀行兌換劵壹圓。

CMPA印刷。雲南地名。正面英字，反面中字。存世極罕，誘人的VF品相。原來的張家口地名上有一條紅線，上有雲南地名的紅色加蓋。正面繁複華麗邊框設計，深藍油墨躍然紙上，中央頂上亦見一深藍徽章。反面幾何設計居中，淺紫油墨誘人，繁複的綠色邊框設計，有一紅色加蓋。此分行發行僅有2張拾圓曾於公開拍賣中登場，但本次呈獻的壹圓從未在公開拍賣中露面，極其炙手可熱的一張拍品，更為藏家趨之若鶩，預計在拍場上的競爭將會極為熾熱。PMG評鑑報告中表示此參考編號中僅評分過此張，絕無其他，最高分的孤品。千載難逢的機會，藏家萬勿錯過。 (t) On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collector's items of Chinese origin, including bullion and numismatic coins and banknotes.
