Sinkiang Official Currency Bureau, China, 400 cash, Guangxu Year Wu Shen (1908), serial number 899, vertical format, dragon at either side, red and green, reverse, large chop at centre, Han and Uyghur text,
(Pick S1742A), PMG 15, splits. Known as the 'Dragon note' due to its designs. An iconic late Qing dynasty piece and one of the earliest banknote issued in Xinjiang. The bureau was reorganised into Xinjiang Frontier Treasury in 1912, therefore with its short circulation, large size and relatively low print run, very little examples have remained today. Extremely rare and important
