Description

CHINA--EMPIRE. Ming Dynasty. 1 Kuan, 1368-99. P-AA10. PMG Choice About Uncirculated 58.
(S/M#T36-20). PMG has graded just three examples at this level, with none finer at the time of cataloging. Light vermillion stamps are readily noticed, and the design remains dark. The issue has received tremendous attention as of late with the strong increase in demand for Chinese paper money. Most examples known today were originally discovered during the Boxer Rebellion in the early 20th century. A later trove was found within a time capsule during the demolition of a Temple around the outskirts of Beijing in the 1930's. PMG Pop 3/None Finer.
From the Paradise Collection.
Estimate: $12500.00- $17500.00

洪武年大明通行寶鈔壹貫。
PMG 僅三張獲此評分,圖錄製作之時無更高分。大尺寸朱紅蓋章,設計仍深色。中國紙鈔中備受追捧的一版,必定能引來一眾藏家關注。現存已知大多發現於 20 世紀初義和團運動之時。後來在 30 年代於北京一遭拆除的廟宇中發現保存良好的一箱。PMG 2張同分,無更高分。
