China People's Bank of China 50,000 Yuan 1950 Pick 855 S/M#C282 PMG Uncirculated 62. The green, pastoral-themed 50,000 Yuan is a key note, rarely seen in any grade and especially so in issued form. We have only sold this catalog number once previously, netting $15,275 in 2014, grading Very Fine 35. This example is seen with original, Uncirculated paper, wide margins and bright colors. Minor rust specks are mentioned for accuracy, and confirm originality. The incredibly low opening bid and enormous catalog values should entice bidding on this famed rarity. Only two issued examples grading finer have been sold publicly. Very few examples grading finer are known to exist. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/china-people-s-bank-of-china-50-000-yuan-1950-pick-855-s-m-c282-pmg-uncirculated-62/a/4026-28116.s?type=CoinArchivesCurrency4026 HID08706262019 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
