民国十五年2-1/2分黄铜代用币。 中国公共汽车有限公司铜制代用币。底板铜色亮丽,细节清晰,颇有趣的一枚。锺情于上海交通历史的藏家绝不应错过。<p><em>与衆多上海公司雷同,总部位于香港,该公司在上海公共租界内营运巴士路綫,始于1924年,至三十年代增至约20条路綫,71号路沿袭至今,大概相同。法国租界内的业务则由上海法商电车电灯公司营运。</em> (t)
CHINA. Brass 2-1/2 Cents Token, ND (1926). PCGS MS-63. Lec-A3. Made for "The China General Omnibus Co. LTD." An interesting piece with bright brass color fields and clean details. An excellent chance to own a piece of Shanghai transportation history. <p><em></em><em>Originally incorporated in 1923 in Hong Kong--like many companies in Shanghai at the time--the company ran bus routes in the International Settlement and beyond. Routes were opened in 1924, and increased to about 20 lines in the 1930s. The 71 bus line was similar to the route today through Shanghai. Operating separately from the main company, French Concession were operated by the </em><em>"compangnie francaise de tramways & declarage electrique de Shanghai."</em><p>
