1913. $5, P-31 Unlisted essay production proof (PMG designated this P-26 by mistake), Portrait of Emperor Huang-ti at left and Gazebo on right with no borders or under prints, back blank. Top margin has label engraved on plate ì$5 Face - Ta Chíing Government Bankî. Evidently the Ta-Chíing note was altered to the Bank of China, P-31, but the title was not changed on the plate.PMG graded Uncirculated 60 NET with note of previously mounted with light glue remnants on back. Rare if not unique archival production proof of this rare issue. The lowest catalog value on any issue from the 1913, $5 series is $900 in Fine condition. A treasure for the China specialist. ABNC.
