中国国宝银行一组5枚 九品
CHINA--FOREIGN BANKS. China Specie Bank Limited. $1 to $100, 1922. P-S228p to S228Dp.10 pieces in lot. Face and back proofs mounted to card stock. Shanghai. This incredible set is from a rare issuer which we have not previously handled in any form.
Auction records of even specimen notes for the series are scarce with denominations over Five Dollars virtually non-existent. This group shows with all denominations to the $100 design with intended color seen with both the face and back of each. All with additional top selvage showing plate information.
The face designs are seen with 10 Cash coins and fully in Chinese. Back designs seen in English with wonderful vignette of cattle grazing, large steam locomotive and windmills. A few minor imperfections but nothing that detracts heavily from the appeal of these rare designs.Uncirculated
