CHINA--PUPPET BANKS. Central Bank of Manchukuo. 1,000 Yuan, ND (1944). P-J146.
(S/M#M2-84) A truly rare design type in any grade. The note is the highest denomination for the series and offers terrific design styling. A large format with bordering design in black and portrait vignette of Confucius at right. Ch'eng Tien building at left. Cockerels at far left and right with ornamental star at top center. Wonderfully vivid purple under-printing with floral central styling with two emerging dragons. Back noticed in a light gray-green color with brown outlying guilloches. The overall appeal of the note borders on a Very Fine grade, but is limited due to internal and edge tears along with some light rust. Fine.
