CHINA--EMPIRE. Imperial Bank of China. 50 Dollars, 1904. P-A55Bpp2. S/M#C293. Back Progressive Proof. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. Uniface obverse progressive proof for the English text side. The Imperial Bank was one of the first modern banks in China to issue banknotes, starting in 1898. Its designs quickly became popular as they featured Caishen, the God of Wealth, which is very auspicious. Qing era notes are challenging to find, let alone the high denominations, and we are pleased to offer this progressive proof for collectors. Very rare. Selvage included. PMG Comments "Note Unaffected by Issue in Selvage." Estimate: $2,000 - $3,000. 光緒三十年中國通商銀行伍拾圓。單面背面漸進式試印樣票。 英文面單面正面漸進式試印樣票。中國通商銀行乃中國最早發行鈔票之現代銀行之一，創於1898年。其設計印有財神圖案，寓意吉祥，旋即風行。清代紙鈔本已難求，高面額者更甚，能呈獻此枚漸進式試印樣票實屬難得。極罕見。帶邊紙。PMG備註"鈔身未受邊紙影響"。
