Rare 1873 Convertible Issue 5 Yen

Japan Greater Japan Imperial National Bank, Tokyo #15 5 Yen ND (1873) Pick 12 JNDA 11-12 PMG Very Fine 30.
Rare in any form, this extraordinary Tokyo Branch #15 example is tied for the highest grade with only one other in the PMG Population Report. A contributing factor to the scarcity of these early National Bank notes was the paper quality, which was fragile and quickly became unusable after a limited time in circulation. Luckily this example was only lightly circulated and kept in a well preserved state. Visually appealing, the front of this 5 yen features dual vignettes of rice planting and harvesting and the back depicts the Nihonbashi Bridge in Tokyo with Mount Fuji in the background flanked by the 1870 5 yen gold coin. Highly desirable and will make a great centerpiece in any collection.

罕見1873年兌換券五圓

1873年大日本帝國通用紙幣五圓，東京第十五國立銀行。 PMG Very Fine 30。
極爲罕見的一張來自東京第十五國立銀行，被PMG評為最高分。造成其稀有的因素為其紙張非常脆弱，且在有限的流通時期之内很快變得無法使用。幸運的是，這張流通極少，保存較爲完整。正面兩側均印有五圓字樣，圖案分別為水稻與豐收，背面為日本橋遠處富士山清晰可見，兩側為1870年五圓金幣，賞心悅目，令人垂涎，值得收藏。
