CHINA--REPUBLIC. Bank of China. 5 Dollars, 1.6.1913. P-31s. Specimen.
(S/M#C294-42) Without place name. Specimen overprints, serial numbers and punch cancels. This highly elusive series is one likely missing in even advanced collections and especially so in this Five Dollar denomination. The note shows with a striking blue under-printed design with large multicolored central guilloche. Portrait vignette of Emperor Huang-ti at left and gazebo at right. A fully Gem example and certainly a note that will be well positioned in any portfolio of rare notes. CMC Gem New 65 OPQ.
Estimate: $10000.00- $15000.00
