KOREA. Bank of Chosen. 100 Yen, Meiji Year 44 (1944). P-16As.Specimen. The finest we have handled for this design which shows with perfectly original paper quality throughout. A deeply inked impression gives sensational detail of the popular design and brightly overprinted signature seals and serial numbers are welcomed. Perforated and overprinted Mi-hon at left and right respectively. Four punch cancels and cancelled overprint. We last sold this design in an About Uncirculated grade with minor rust which brought $5,975.00 as lot 80337 in our August 2011 Hong Kong sale. This piece is overall a superior example and a note which will highlight any collection it enters.PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ
