Finest Graded Overprinted Rarity

China Bank of China 5 Dollars, Shanghai 1909 (ND 1912) Pick 17i S/M#C294-2i PMG Very Fine 30.
The Bank of China's first series of banknotes were overprinted on Qing Dynasty notes from the Ta Ching Government Bank. This fantastic 5 Dollars, issued via Shanghai, is the finest graded example in the PMG Population Report with only four notes in the census at the time of writing. Light circulation, good colors, and ink rub are mentioned for accuracy. These overprinted notes were issued while waiting for fresh notes from the American Banknote Company to be printed and delivered, which occurred in late 1912 or the following year. Nevertheless, this provisional issue is very scarce and missing from many collections.

最高分之加蓋遺珍

1909年（1912年）大清銀行兌換券加蓋改作中國銀行兌換券伍圓，上海地名。PMG Very Fine 30。
中國銀行的首套鈔票乃於大清銀行兌換券的庫存票上加蓋而成。這張超凡卓絕的伍圓發行於上海。截至編目時，其評分在PMG數量報告的僅四例中位居榜首。此鈔之流通痕跡微不足道，色澤亮麗上乘，惟略見墨污。由於美鈔公司印製的新鈔要到1912年末或1913年初才運抵，故這批加蓋鈔票應運而生，至今成為不少集藏欠缺的一大珍鈔。
