JAPAN. Great Japanese Government - Ministry of Finance. 10 Yen, ND (1872). P-7. PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45.
A rare denomination which seldom appears at public sale. We have not offered this type since our August 2012 Hong Kong sale. This note shows in a much larger format than the lesser denominations while showcasing a similar design with facing dragons at lower left and right and Onagadori cockerels above. Typically found in lower grades, this Choice Extremely Fine example is sure to attract spirited bidding. PMG comments "Splits". PMG Pop 2/4 Finer.
Estimate: $2000.00- $4000.00

1872年大日本帝國政府軍用手票拾圓。
罕見的面值，鮮少出現在公開拍賣中。本行在2012年8月香港秋拍後再次呈獻。此張比同系列低面值紙幣幅面更大，左右下方各一龍，上方則有長尾雞一對。該版通常品相不佳，但此張呈可貴的Choice Extremely Fine等級，定會引起藏家的激烈競投。PMG標註"開裂"。PMG評鑒中與一枚同分，另有4枚更高分。
