Description

Highest Denomination Taels Issue

China Board of Revenue 50 Taels ND (1861-64) Pick A13e S/M#H176 Reissue PMG Very Fine 25.
During the 1850s and 1860s, the Ch'ing Dynasty government issued a series of notes with the denomination in Cash, as well as a Board of Revenue series denominated in Taels. The Taels notes are scarcer than the Cash notes, and have a slightly wider and larger appearance. Additionally, the denominations are quite different as well. This 50 Taels is the highest denomination of this series and it is a seriously scarce type to find. To date, PMG has graded only 28 examples across all varieties issued in the 1850s and 1860s. In fact, we have only offered five examples of this type, but only Pick numbers A13b and A13c. This is the first A13e variety we have offered, which is the final variety of this rare type. Printed and written notations are seen on both sides of this enormous banknote. Spindle holes at issue are to be expected. The key type for the series and a very rare, museum-worthy note from the 19th-century.

最高面值伍拾兩

1861-64年咸豐四年戶部官票伍拾兩。重發版。PMG Very Fine 25。
在1850年代至1860年代，大清政府曾推出一系列以「文」為面值的鈔票，以及一系列戶部發行以「兩」為面值的官票，後者的數量更爲稀少，票幅更寬大。此外，這兩批的面額也不盡相同，這張伍拾兩是這個系列中面值最高的，也是最罕有的。迄今為止，該年間發行的所有版別在PMG的記錄中僅入評二十八例，事實上敝司亦只曾拍賣過五張同類型例子，Pick編號為A13b和A13c。這是敝司首次經手A13e，也是這種稀有類型中的最後一個版別。其巨大的正背面都可以看到印刷和書寫的記號，及紙扦孔。此例出自該系列中的關鍵類型，也是十九世紀中吉光片羽、值得典藏的瑰寶。
