CHINA--EMPIRE. Ta-Ching Government Bank. $5, 1.9.1906. P-A73r.(S/M#T10-2a) Remainder. Tientsin branch. The first for the denomination we have handled in recent memory for this scarce and widely popular issuer. The note grows in size when compared to the One Dollar notes of the same issue. Seen with an ornate blue border and ochre under-printing. Back design seen in a purple hue with pleasing green under-prints. The note shows with a cancelled overprint on both the face and back at center along with no signatures or serial number. Overall great detail throughout with only mention of a repaired lower right corner. The only piece graded by PMG for the design and a note which will surely see significant action from bidders.PMG Uncirculated 61 Net. Cancelled, Repaired.From the Neil Nelson Collection.
