CHINA--FOREIGN BANKS. Russo-Asiatic Bank. 5 Mexican Dollars, ND (1909). P-S542s.Specimen printed by BWC. An incredibly rare design which typically will only show up in drastically low grades with several problems. This stunning Gem example shows the design in full detail and color with perfectly original paper. Well centered with nice margins and specimen serial numbers. The last of this catalog number we handled was an issued note from the Edward Kann collection. That note sold for $6,612.50 in our October New York sale. With the beauty of this piece we would expect a slightly higher realization even with the note being a specimen.PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ
