CHINA--PROVINCIAL BANKS. Peiyang Tientsin Bank. 5 Taels, ND (1910). P-S2523r.(S/M#P35-3) Remainder. One of the most attractive designs available within all of collectible currency with this Bradbury Wilkinson & Company design being seen with incredible color. A fully under-printed face design shows with dark green borders and facing dragons in ruby red at upper center with blue pearl of wisdom between. Multicolored character under-prints also add nice effect and a detailed portrait of Li Hung Chan is at upper center. Harbor vignette at lower center in black and branch name below. Back observed with heavy geometric lathe work and bold red and green color. The originality is unquestionable with deeply embossed serial numbers and the face and back impressions are both seen terrifically centered on the paper. Certainly the finest of the catalog number we have handled and worthy of a premium bid.Choice Uncirculated
