CHINA--EMPIRE. Imperial Bank of China. 50 Dollars, 1904. P-UNL. Specimen. PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 & Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.
2 pieces in lot. Specimens. Shanghai. A rare design in any form, seen here as a pair of front and back uniface specimens. We have seen smaller denominations of this series, but have yet to see this 50 Dollar example in any form. A very colorful pair with Confucius at right, and Facing Dragons at upper center. The face is found in Gem 66EPQ, and the reverse in CU63. Roulette SPECIMENS and Printer's Annotations. An exceptional lot courtesy of the Bradbury Wilkinson Company. PMG comments "Previously Mounted" on the reverse example.
Estimate: $20000.00- $25000.00
