光绪三十年湖北官钱局五圆 九品
CHINA--PROVINCIAL BANKS. Hupeh Government Cash Bank. 5 Yuan, Yr. 30 (1904). P-S2091.(S/M#H171-11) Large hole cancelled. A design we have yet to handle and one that comes from a widely popular series. The note is seen in a vertical format with large facing dragons at the top with pearl of wisdom between. A light rose under-printing is observed and infinite detail is found throughout as the circulation is light and even.
We can only recall one sale of this catalog number being in a 2009 sale where another hole cancelled note brought over $20,000.00. We are sure several collectors have been awaiting an opportunity to own such a piece and this well inked note will not disappoint.Choice Very Fine
