Description

China Kiangnan Merchantile Note 1 Chiao=10 Cents 1940 Pick UNL S/M#C105 PMG Very Fine 25.
A type unlisted in the standard catalog, but thankfully, this type is attributed in Smith and Matravers. Rare in any grade, this note is attractive for its rarity and mystique. A perforation at middle is mentioned for accuracy, along with two insect holes. This is the first Kiangnan Merchantile banknote we have offered.
From The Norman Lin Collection

民國廿九年（1940）江南商業貨幣券壹角。PMG Very Fine 25。
此鈔未收錄於標準目錄中，但幸而Smith和Matravers有所記錄。此鈔不論評分都難得一遇，並因其稀罕程度和神秘莫測的背景而散發出無窮吸引力。票面中央帶有注銷孔，另見兩處蟲洞。此為敝司首次經手江南商業貨幣券。
