I believe that this one is a Chinese provincial issue, but can't seem to find it in anything that I've got. Could someone help with an ID and a date. Thanks!

Not sure what it is, but it is a very attractive note with a unique design.

I can't find it in either the general or specialized catalogs. I searched good and hard too. But...

I found this Link which I hope you will be happy about. A 1358 dollar note is pretty cool!

Another link described it and said it was unlisted - which I think we kinda' knew already through experience.

Great note! How'd you wind up with it?

All I could find was an auction listing with the note saying it is unlisted:

The Sin Chun Bank of China(China’s first savings bank founded in 1906): $1, $5 and $10, Year 33 without serial numbers (not listed in Pick or S/M). The $1 and $5
uncirculated, the $10 choice about uncirculated. Estimate: US$1,100-1,300

It belongs to a friend who asked me to see if I could find out anything about it. I think that it's been in his family for some time.

Wow, I've never seen anything like that before. Typically speaking, most pre-republican circulation notes are valued in low hundreds figures for mid-grade common stuff from the main banks, and more for those from smaller issuers.

It is listed in S/M.

Hi,

My name is Low, and I am new to this forum.

This is a 1907 5 Yuan note issued by 華商上海信成銀行 (a private bank started in 28th April, 1906). This 5 Yuan note is rare, and in recent auction in China, fetched nearly USD 1000. bthumbsup.gif

Do take good care of this rare note.

Here's the Link to this note on Ebay. It will be interestnig to see what it goes for.
