CHINA--EMPIRE. Board of Revenue. 10 Taels, Yr. 5 (1855). P-A12c.(S/M#H176-23) Chihli. One of the more pleasing we have handled for this scarce 10 Taels design and seen with still strong detail and mostly even circulation. Extremely large format and found with several square stamped seals at the face and various overprints at the back. Some minor repairs and ink are noticed but the note is largely problem free otherwise. The last we handled in a Very Fine grade was lot 80032 in our August 2011 Hong Kong sale which brought $21,510.00. Although this lot is slightly less attractive we still feel the attention will be strong from collectors.PMG Very Fine 20 Net. Repaired, Ink.
