CHINA--PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC. People's Bank of China. 10,000 Yuan, 1951. P-858a. PCGSBG Choice Extremely Fine 45 Details. Minor Restoration, Eraser Cleaning.
We are privileged to offer both variations of the 1951 10,000 Yuan design in issued form, with both pieces being extraordinarily rare. This piece is seen with the "Camel Caravan" design which is also the notes nickname. Originally, the note was issued for Xinjiang Province, and did not experience mass production. Most of the time this design is seen is either on replicas, specimens, or forgeries. This example shows excellent detail, and appears to be well preserved. PCGSBG mentions Minor Restoration, and Eraser Cleaning in the comments section, but comments like that on a note of this caliber are not concerning. We anticipate spirited bidding. PCGSBG Choice Extremely Fine 45 Details. Minor Restoration, Eraser Cleaning.
Estimate: $100000.00- $150000.00
