CHINA--FOREIGN BANKS. Russo-Chinese Bank. 5 Taels, 1907. P-S532cts2. S/M#O5-21. Back Color Trial Specimen. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64. Peking. Light purple and olive-brown, single dragon and fireball at centre, Chinese text within ornate borders. This is a unique back design, and the first we've handled or seen. This Chingping Tsuyin Tael shows a vertical reverse, though the adopted front design is horizontal. Beautiful soft plum colours adorn this side of the colour trial. PMG reports two uniface reverses ONLY, and no uniface obverse or double-sided printing. We sold the other piece, graded PMG 63, for $4560 including Buyer's Premium. An incredible opportunity to acquire such a rare piece. Estimate: $2,000 - $3,000. 1907年華俄道勝銀行伍兩。背面試色樣票。 北京地名。淺紫與橄欖棕色，中央飾有單龍戲珠圖案，華麗邊框內為中文文字。此為獨特的背面設計，為本行首見，亦為首次呈獻。此京平足銀兩票正面為橫向，然此背面採用縱向設計，呈現雅緻柔和的梅色。據PMG紀錄，僅有兩張單面背面試印票存世，未見單面正面或雙面印刷品。我們曾售出另一枚獲評PMG 63的同版，含買家佣金成交價為4,560美元。此乃獲藏此等孤罕珍品的非凡契機。

估價:$1,000
