CHINA--PROVINCIAL BANKS. Provincial Bank of the Three Eastern Provinces. $100, 1929. P-S2965b.(S/M#T214-193c) Smith/Matravers plate note. A highly scarce note which is likely among the finest known for the catalog number. This piece shows with the Tientsin overprint and Three Eastern Province imprint at lower center. Great color and detail with what seems to be only as made paper furrows within. Punch canceled at the serial numbers, left and right guilloches and signature seals. Rare and worthy of a premium bid.About UncirculatedFrom the Ward D. Smith Collection.
