CHINA--PROVINCIAL BANKS. Hunan Bank. $5, ND. P-S2073.(S/M#H167-77) Hankow branch. A largely unfrequented no date series which is the first we have handled of the design. Seen with impressive styling with arched purple under-printing leaving above third of the face open. Vignette of a shrine at center in green with counters at left and right. Back design in brown with place name in English at lower center and serial numbers repeated at upper left and right. Mostly even circulation and quite nice appeal throughout. Certainly an item missing from even comprehensive collections.Fine
