Description

Japan Bank of Japan 5 Yen 1899 (Meiji Yr 32) Pick 31a JNDA 11-32 PMG Choice Uncirculated 64.
A high grade example from the first year of issue (vertically dated Meiji Year 32 on the back). These early 5 yen notes are scarce in high grades, with only four examples achieving an uncirculated grade in the PMG Population report. Featured on this front is the portrait of legendary hero and god Takeuchi no Sukune and a background vignette of the Ube shrine in Tottori. The exchange clause of "promise to pay the bearer on demand 5 yen in gold" is seen on back. Highly desirable in this well preserved condition.

明治三十二年（1899）日本銀行兌換券五圓。PMG Choice Uncirculated 64。
一張首年發行的高評分兌換券（背面垂直印有明治三十二年）。這張早期五圓券極少獲如此高分，据PMG數量報告，僅有四張獲評級為未流通等級。正面中間為傳奇英雄「武内宿禰」，鳥取市宇倍神社為背景。背面印有兌換條款。保存完好，必引起熱烈競投。
