光绪二十四年中国通商银行一两。 北京。此张珍品极为漂亮，是PMG评鉴中的冠军分。罕有的一两票，印象中我们只经手过几张而已。深蓝色票框橘色底印，红色行徽。两面的序号及签名处印墨均十分深刻。反面中央上方有黑色圆形图章，正面设计亦类似。能完善中国纸币集藏的一张佳品，评级标示上方边缘有"轻微油墨"，但著实不显眼。 CHINA--EMPIRE. Imperial Bank of China. 1 Tael, 1898. P-A40a. PMG Choice Uncirculated 63. (S/M# C293-2b) Peking. This treasure exhibits true visual quality and currently sits alone atop the PMG population report. This rare Tael issue note is one of only a few we have handled for the catalog number in recent memory. It features a deep blue frame and orange under-printing with red protectors. There are strong overprints in both the serial numbers and signature. The back has a black circular seal at upper center and similar styling as the face. This example will certainly enhance any comprehensive collection of Chinese banknotes. "Minor Ink" at the top margin is mentioned, with the operative term being minor. On September 1, 2019, the United States enacted new tariffs on collectors items manufactured in China. Accordingly, all buyers in forthcoming Stacks Bowers and Ponterio Hong Kong Auctions who wish to have any Chinese manufactured item delivered within the United States will be subject to these tariffs.Furthermore, as a result of the new tariffs, all orders will be shipped directly from our Hong Kong offices and shipments to the United States will be subject to our international shipping chart.
