China International Banking Corporation - Shanghai $5 1.1.1905 Pick S419a
An early dated note from a bank which eventually sold itself to the National City Bank of New York (Citibank). The Chinese name for Citibank, which it still uses, comes from the Chinese name for this bank. While later Peking issues and redeemed cut notes are better known, earlier Shanghai issues executed in different colors sometimes prove quite challenging to the collector. PMG Choice Very Fine 35.
