China Banque de l'Indo-Chine, Canton Shameen 1 Dollar = 1 Piastre 18.1.1902 Pick S436s S/M#T204 Specimen PMG Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ.

Shameen Island was a European colony, split between the United Kingdom and France, created on a small island in Guangzhou. Any banknote from this city is incredibly rare today. Accordingly, this Specimen is missing from many collections. A perforated cancellation has been applied atop totally original paper. A handsome and specialized type, this extremely rare remnant from a colonial period in China is sure to see active bidding. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/china-banque-de-l-indo-chine-canton-shameen-1-dollar-1-piastre-1811902-pick-s436s-s-m-t204-specimen-pmg-choic/a/4034-26241.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchivesCurrency-WorldPaperMoney-4034-12112021 HID08706262019 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
