CHINA--TAIWAN. Bank of Taiwan. 10 Yen, 1901. P-1909s. Specimens. PMG Very Fine 30 & Choice Very Fine 35.
2 pieces in lot. This ultra rare pairing of uniface specimens has a technical VF grade but faces up like uncirculated pieces at a quick glance due to the very bold black vignettes with Facing Peacocks and Dragons on the face, and the green egg shaped lathe work on the reverse design. Bright red overprints on each piece draw attention to the well preserved state of each uniface piece. On the reverse uniface, PMG comments "Minor Rust." This is the lone pair certified by PMG for the type, with one other in issued form for the design.
Estimate: $90000.00- $120000.00
