民國八年中國銀行拾圓。序號不符錯體鈔。
哈爾濱-東三省，編號不符，正面為 0137994，背面為 1137994，深棕色，中央印有牌坊和房屋，紅色印章簽字，背面為淺綠色，由馮耿光和程良楷簽發。此鈔發行於民國初年，存世極為罕見，色彩、紙張均為原樣，邊角銳利，僅有輕微流通痕跡，否則評級應值更高。此鈔編號與我們於 2024 年 4 月拍賣的另一張鈔票僅相差一位，極具收藏價值！ (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.
