Description

China Commercial Bank of China, Shanghai 5 Taels 15.1.1920 Pick A135a S/M#C293-31 PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45.
Rarely seen Commerical Bank of China issue. At the time of cataloging, this is the second finest graded example in the PMG Population Report, with barely over ten examples present in the census. Excellent eye appeal and a fairly low serial number are seen on this offering. Popular and deceptively scarce in the best of collector grades.
From The Peh Family Collection


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.

民國九年(1920)中國通商銀行伍兩,上海地名。PMG Choice Extremely Fine 45。
中國通商銀行伍兩鈔票甚少亮相於拍賣會,PMG評分報告中亦不過十張獲評,此例離最高分更是只差一步。品相無可挑剔,且序列號相對較低。頂級收藏評分寥寥無幾,卻往往稀缺難尋,故此萬勿錯過。

Estimate: $2,500 - up.
