According to Kann, the Kiau Chau 5 and 10 Cents entered circulation in October of 1909. Although this issue was met with acceptance, it remained short lived. The German involvement in World War I found the port of Kiau Chau under British and Japanese siege on August 27th, 1914, and ended on November 7th and Kiau Chau remained under Japanese control until returned to China in 1922. Hard mirror surfaces with frosted devices. Highly attractive.
Ex: Virgil Brand Collection.
Estimate: $6000.00- $8000.00
