CHINA--FOREIGN BANKS. Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China. $10, 1.12.1930. P-S216.(S/M#Y11) A catalog number which we have not handled since November of 2009 where we sold a Fine-Very Fine example for $960.00 as lot 6345. This note shows with better overall detail and inks throughout with dark blue creating the bordering design and a sharp penned signature at lower left. All we have encountered of this type has been seen with a "F/M," fractional style prefix which this piece again has. The serial number however is the lowest we have come across being F/M 005086. Two margin splits at top and bottom center are mentioned along with a few annotations which do not distract. An important opportunity.PMG Very Fine 20
