CHINA--EMPIRE. Sin Chun Bank. 10 Dollars, 1908. P-UNL. PCGS Currency Superb Gem New 68 PPQ.

(S/M #H186-3ar) Shanghai. Near perfect, and the highest grade we have ever offered for the type. This $10 denomination is the highest from the series and shows with a format that continues the increasingly larger size with this series. Black borders, facing dragons and left and right vignettes are noticed against a green purple and yellow under-print with embedded design. The back is again seen like others in the series with vibrant color and heavy geometric lathe work within the borders. Deep red lettering in mostly English with facing dragons in the same hue. We have handled just a few of these rare notes and this offering is by far the finest among them. Picture perfect centering and exceptional color throughout. A true treasure and worthy of placement into the finest of collections. PCGS Currency Superb Gem New 68 PPQ.
