Description

China China Silk & Tea Industrial Bank 5 Dollars 15.8.1925 Pick A120Ba S/M#C292-2a PMG Choice About Unc 58.
Highest graded example out of three previous notes we have offered. To illustrate the name of the bank, the note features unusual vignettes. The front displays workers harvesting tea and the back depicts a worker spinning silk on a loom. Certainly a most sought after note.


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.

民國十四年(1925)中國絲茶銀行伍圓,北京地名。PMG Choice About Unc 58。
敝司只曾這款鈔票三次,此為當中評分最佳者。為呼應銀行名字,此鈔的設計亦與別不同,正面印有工人採茶,背面則為紡紗場景,定必深受藏家青睞。


Estimate: $800 - up.
