Archives International Auctions, Part X,

WORLDWIDE BANKNOTES

I would like to thank everyone on behalf of the Archives International Auction Team for your continued participation

in our auctions over the last four years. We have been fortunate to offer many rare and interesting banknotes and related

material as well as discovering unchartered (or cataloged) areas of collecting interest. We make every effort to locate

those special and hard to find items, not just expensive and rare notes, but items only a serious specialist or long term col-

lector would appreciate but is rarely fortunate enough to ever acquire for their collection.

The current auction includes many interesting and rare items that rarely cross the auction block. We are fortunate to

have an amazing old-time collection of banknotes with many notes rarely coming to auction. Included is an amazing

1950’s Commonwealth of Australia, 10 Pounds, P-32 Specimen that has never been offered publically previously; 60

issued, proof and specimen Chinese notes with many rare and desirable offerings such as the Russo-Asiatic bank,

1915 2 Gold fen Issued Note, Lot #124; two discovery note proofs from Colombia’s El Banco Americano, 1883 issue;

5 different Danish West Indies notes dating from 1890-1905; Lot 189, a mind boggling double denomination error of a

10 Shilling face on a 5 Shilling back on an East Africa Currency Board 1921 Issue with correspondence relating to the

note; a new estate find of 6 different early Fiji notes that rarely appear in auction; A monster Banque De L’Indochine,

Pondichery 1915 Issued note in amazing condition, lot #231; The Bank of Hindostan, 1830’s Issue banknote, Lot #309;

a set of 3 high grade Sin Chun Bank of China notes that are spectacular; large offerings of Lebanon Specimens; numerous

issued early India notes; Mexico issued, proof and specimen banknotes; Iraq and Iran note offerings; a very attractive

group of Russian notes including an early Imperial Specimen; a large holding of Union Bank of Scotland specimens from

the archives that have been off the market since the original auctions (in the 1970-80’s); South Africa is represented by

a group of respectable and rarely seen color trials, essays and issued notes; and two Suriname issue trophy notes that are

missing from most advanced collections.

In addition, hundreds of other desirable notes are being offered from dozens of countries at every collector and price

level, for the beginning collector to advanced specialist.

We are looking forward to our Winter-Spring auction season with our Scripophily and Banknote auction

in mid to late March.

Best of Luck,

Bob Schwartz

Chewsang Private Bank RarityChina - Private

128 Chan Wai Seng Bank, Chewsang, (Kwangtung Province)1913, $200 Private Bank Issue. Kwangtung Province, China, 1 May Year 2 of the Republic(1913), $200, P-Unlisted, (S/M# Unlisted), Specimen or sample from the Hong Kong Printing Press archive, Chewsang issue, one of only two notes known fromthis bank. Chewsang (Kwangtung Province). The Hong Kong Printing Press archive of eastern Kwangtung notes was sold in the 1960’s and came into the pos-session of the consignor of this note. In the archive surviving notes were glued into a scrapbook, normally only one example, occasionally two. Of the notes ofthis bank only two pieces were saved, or possibly only one denomination was printed by the Hong Kong Printing Press. At any rate in the archive there are onlytwo pieces of the $200 note. $200 was the highest denomination note printed by the Hong Kong Printing Press, and apparently only three banks ordered notesof this denominaton — in addition to the Chan Wai Seng Bank, the Hip Sing Hing Bank and the Ying Yu Sang Chong Bank of Chow Chew also printed a $200.In the record books of the Hong Kong Printing Press there were only five pieces in total of $200, while only two banks were domiciled on Chewsang, this bankand in addition the Sin Seng Cheong Bank. As a side note, the ancestors of many Singapore citizens came from Chewsang and the surrounding area, thus thedialect Chew Chow, or Chow Chew. Extreme rarity of the highest order, a strikingly attractive note that may never come to auction again. Est. $10000-15000
