Description

China Bank of China 5 Yuan 1941 Pick 93 S/M#C294-262 PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
Gem quality technical features are not generally seen on this smaller denomination, issued in 1941. Interestingly, this note was used as a base for the scarce overprinted $1 note for Hong Kong at the nexus of World War II in the Pacific. A pretty type and scarce in the best grades.


NOTE: This lot was manufactured in China and was sourced from outside the United States for this auction after September 1, 2019. Under the new US tariffs on Chinese goods, collector's items from China will be subject to an import tariff. Any clients who wish to take delivery of this item in the United States should be aware of this added charge, and consult their tax adviser with any questions. If you choose to take delivery in the United States and purchase both tariffed and non-tariffed lots from this auction, please note that the automatic invoice you receive after the auction will be incorrect; you will be emailed revised invoices shortly afterwards. The lots that fall under the tariff will be invoiced separately and will ship directly from our Hong Kong Office and carry a separate, additional shipping charge.
