Description

China Imperial Bank of China, Shanghai 5 Taels 22.1.1898 Pick A47a S/M#C93-3a PMG Very Fine 20.
Scarce Imperial Bank denomination. PMG has graded only 11 examples at the time of writing, all of which grade Fine to Very Fine with none higher. This example displays minor repairs, but is otherwise pleasant for the grade. A rare and popular note from the Qing Dynasty.


光緒二十四年(1898)中國通商銀行伍兩,上海地名。PMG Very Fine 20。
這張中國通商銀行鈔票珍罕少見。截至編目時,PMG記錄中僅見十一例,評分均限於Fine至Very Fine之間,故此鈔分數穩居榜首。雖然帶有輕微修補痕跡,但外觀仍賞心悅目,人氣歷久不衰,實為鮮有一遇的清朝珍鈔。


Estimate: $2,500 - up.
