China Ta-Ching Government Bank Yinokow (Yingkow) $1 1.10.1909 Pick A76. An elusive place of issue, the port city of Yingkow in Liaoning is seen on this early design designed and printed by the American Bank Note Company. The old titles of the Ta-Ching Government Bank, a date expressed as Xuantong Year 1, and Li Hongzhang are seen on this empire note which was subject to many rounds of redemptions. Excellent colors remain on this trophy piece. PMG Choice Fine 15 Net, restoration. The holder also comments the city name is misspelled as "YINOKOW" (other issues from this city have the English name as "YINGKOW"). This error should certainly enhance the interest of this example.
