Auction: CSS96B - CHINESE BANKNOTES AND COINS FEATURING THE MR. LAI PO HUNG COLLECTION OF CHINESE BANKNOTES &
Lot: 1237

Kwangtung Sat Yip Bank, China, remainder 1 dollar, Year 8 (1919), no serial number, green, train at centre, two red chops, reverse, purple, silver dollar at centre,
(Pick unlisted), PMG 20 Very Fine, corner missing. Kwangtung Sat Yip Bank opened in 1917 with their headquarter in Kwangtung and a branch in Swatow. From historical records, only 5, 10 and 50 yuan notes were issued, and all should be issued from Kwangtung. Hence this Swatow 1 dollar is unrecorded. Research shows only 2 examples have been seen in public auction; one at China Guardian (example without two red chops), and one at YangMing (lower 2 corners cut). And Spink also offered 2 hand drawn models as part of our Hong Kong Printing Press Collection. This example is possibly the best known and closest one will get to an issued note from this elusive yet important bank. Hugely important in the finacial history of Kwangtung, not to be missed by any serious collectors of China numismatics. Extremely rare


民國八年廣東實業銀行壹員庫存票，汕頭地名，無編號，PMG 20，紙角有缺，該行於1917年開業，總行設於廣東，並在汕頭設立分行。從歷史記載來看，發行的紙鈔只有伍員、拾員及伍拾員，而且應該都是廣東發行的，如本品般汕頭地名則未有記載；有二項公開拍賣記錄：分別是中國嘉德(無紅加蓋)及上海陽明拍賣(下方紙角裁剪)，另2枚手繪設計稿曾於斯賓克「香港印鈔公司樣鈔」專場亮相，本品相信已是最接近流通票的一枚，廣東實業銀行於廣東金融史上影響深遠，本品彌足珍貴，資深藏家萬勿錯過
