(t) CHINA--EMPIRE. Board of Revenue. 10 Taels, 1854. P-A12b. PMG Very Fine 25.
(S/M#H176-13). Year 4. These higher denomination notes on this rare issuer seldom come this nice. Typically they are marred with problems and often are repaired. This example has thankfully not been repaired. The blue ink comprising the primary design offers good appeal, with waves seen below and dragons flanking at left and right ends. PMG comments "Annotations."
Estimate: $4000 - $5000
