拍品描述： 1880-1910年澳大利亚商业银行5镑单面样票，墨尔本地名，编号A30001 - 40000，PMG 58EPQ左右两边均印有中文，颇不寻常，其原因包括但不限于此银行当时有两位华裔董事，而且该地区有大量华人在金矿工作，印上中文是希望他们减少对 “纸”币的反感，罕见的早期澳洲私钞。Commercial Banak of Australia, specimen £5, 18- (1880-1910), Melbourne, serial number range A30001 - 40000, uniface,(Vort-Ronald 1, Pick unlisted), PMG 58EPQ. An unusual specimen with Chinese characters printed on either side. There has been a few speculations as to the reason why, including there being two prominant directors being of Chinese descent. Also there being a sizeable Chinese population working in the gold mines in the area and wanting to reduce their aversion to paper. Rare early Australian private bank issue
