CHINA--EMPIRE. Yuan Dynasty. 2 Kuan, 1335-40. P-UNL. PCGS Currency Very Fine 25.
(S/M #C167-1) Large vertical format printed on mulberry paper. 20 strings of cash coins at center with large red stamped seal over Bank name, top center. Ornate bordering design and text at lower center with additional stamped seal. A note that predates the famous Ming Dynasty notes by nearly 100 years. The Yuan Dynasty lasted from 1271 to 1368 with Kublai Khan being the emperor in power during this notes circulation period. This note is a miracle of survival and presents one of the most significant Chinese banknote offerings we have handled. A slightly smaller format than the later Ming Dynasty One Kuan note and is with a blank back, aside from a few stamped seals. PCGS Currency comments "Restorations; Internal Tears." These comments tend to be part of a common theme among these notes.
Estimate: $30000.00- $40000.00
