1907年德华银行伍拾圆。CHINA--FOREIGN BANKS. Deutsch-Asiatische Bank. 50 Dollars, 1.3.1907. P-5a. PMG Very Fine 20.青岛地名。鲜少稀见之德华银行青岛地名伍拾圆。PMG仅得2枚行钞之评分纪录，皆为同分。青岛曾为德国所管辖之战略港口城市，其地理位置对区域贸易及军事皆起关键作用。青岛于 1898 年租予德国，当时进行大规模的开发，包括兴建现代化基建和扩大港口设施。这张行钞的边缘有一些鏽迹，但对整体设计无伤大雅。柔和悦目的紫色，以及线条俐落的钢笔签名确认其为一枚货真价实的行钞。在本行最近2024年10月于香港举行的拍卖会中，我们以美金144,000元售出此地名的贰拾伍圆行钞。这是我们悠久的拍卖历史上德华银行行钞的最高拍卖价格纪录。我们对本品估值採取温和态度，以其与贰拾伍圆同等的珍罕程度，可以预料竞投将会相当激烈，PMG备注"鏽渍"。
Tsingtau branch. An exceptional issued 50 Dollar from the Tsingtau branch of the Deutsch-Asiatische Bank. One of just two such issued notes in the PMG population report, both at the same grade level. Tsingtao, today known as Qingdao, was a strategic port city under German control, which had significant implications for regional trade and military presence. The city, having been leased to Germany in 1898, was undergoing extensive development, including the construction of modern infrastructure and the expansion of its harbor facilities. This issued note has some specks of rust in the margins, but none of the actual design is impacted. Pleasing purple color is seen, and the boldly signed fountain pen signatures confirm its status as a fully issued note. In our recent October 2024 Hong Kong auction we sold an issued $25 from this branch for $144,000, the record price for an issued Deutsch-Asiatische Bank note in our lengthy auction history. We will keep our estimate more modest for this piece, but expect spirited bidding on this piece, as it is about equally as rare as that $25. PMG Comments "Rust."
