Brad's World Coins Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 I'm really not sure on this. The clues I have found are not bringing up any results on Google searches. T.H. Wong C.P. Shing Kwon Held Bank Note 1000 What is this? It feels pretty old. Any help is much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Your note is a type of Hell Money, also known as Spirit Money and sometimes Heaven Money. The term Hell was adopted as a general word for the afterlife, not one in the western sense of the term. See: Link to Hell Money Held is a typo if you will, based on someo es limited understanding of the pronunciation. Think of Tao Te Ching and Dao De Djing, our own typos in romanising a foreign language for the same thing. Yours does look old, but the type of printing was done cheaply as they were desinved to be burned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
