China Chih Yuan T'ung Hsing Pao Ch'ao 2 Kuan 1264-1341 Pick UNL S/M#C167-1. One of the earliest examples of paper money from the Yuan Dynasty. The 2 Kuan denomination depicted in the center box is represented by the two strings of cash coins, each comprised of 10 cash stacks. Although this example is quite large in size, it is slightly smaller than the more common 1 Kuan from the Ming Dynasty. These early notes were printed on mulberry paper and charcoal dye was used for both the script and design. This historical example is well preserved for its age and will certainly highlight any collection. The last example we offered in this similar grade realized $43,200 and we expect this offering to achieve similar results. PMG mentions restoration, paper damage, and stain and grades this example Choice Fine 15 Net. HID08701242017
Estimate: 40000-50000 USD
