宣统二年广西银行壹圆“乌龙票”，黑灰底，中央为广西银元，两侧饰以双龙，顶部印有“龙”字戳记。PMG 15。极为罕见，迄今仅存3枚。广西历来是与亚洲乃至世界贸易往来频繁的地区。宝桂钱局（广西）建于1667年，于1861年停止营运。此后，该地区流通的货币大多为来自其他国家的贸易银元。地方政府官员一直计划效法广东成功建立自己的造币厂，但遭到中央政府的否决。因此，这张纸币是广西50多年来首次统一流通的货币。在日本印制，首印量为10万张，而同系列的5元纸币则印制了20万张。考虑到当时该地区的贸易流通量以及有限的发行，如今仅存3张也就不足为奇了！这张纸币一度为中国纸币在拍卖的世界纪录，在中国货币史上具有极为重要的意义。
Kwangsi Bank, China, 1 yuan, 2nd Year of Xuantong (1909), no serial number , black and grey, fantasy Kwangsi dollar at centre flanked by two dragons, with "lung" character stamps at top,(Pick S2345), PMG 15. An excessively rare piece with only 3 examples known TO THIS DAY. Kwangsi has traditionally been an area heavy with trade to rest of Asia and rest of the world during the time.
The Kwangsi mint was established in 1667 and stopped operation in 1861. After that, much of the currency used in the areas were trade dollars from other countries. There were always plans for local government officials to establish mints much like Kwangtung has successfully done but this was rejected by the central government. Therefore this note is one the first consolidation of currency in Kwangsi in over 50 years. Notes were printed in Japan with a print run of 100,000, whereas the 5 yuan of the same series had a print run of 200,000. Considering the volume of trade in the area of the time combined with the limited print run, it is no surprise only 3 survived to this day! At one point this note held the world record for a Chinese banknote sold in auction at Spink. Highly important in Chinese monetary history.
