most of what I see are pretty common. The 1918 Russian 25 rubles is pretty interesting though. This was a government credit note used during the revolution. Cat#39A $10.00 vg $25.00 vf $50.00 unc. I would say yours is a fairly strong vf. I don't know much about the obsoletes on the bottom but they look neat.

The bottom group of four notes are all copies.

Lot 1: Japanese I think All the notes in "Lot 1" were issued by the Central Bank of China. Quote:
9 Note #9 was issued by the Bank of Taiwan. Quote:
7 The most interesting of the Chinese notes is #7 which has a denomination of "one jiao" ("ten cents") and was issued by the Qingdao Branch of the Central Bank of China in the year 1949. This Chinese website has a specimen of this note in poor condition but still with a "reference price" of 800 yuan which is about US$127. Your note, however, looks suspect to me and may not be authentic. Gary |

High denomination notes were issued during hyper inflation ans are good for packing glassware.
wartime notes were generally issued by the loser, brought back by the bagful as souvenirs.

I'd grab it. Not everyone with money knows what they're doing. I'd hate to tell you how many times I've heard "but it looks just like the one in the book".
I ask if I take a picture of the Mona Lisa, will it look just like the one in the book?

Yes. That is a tough note. I have been trying to get one for 20+ years and have only seen about a half dozen. All priced too rich for me.

So far, we have: - Looks fake
- I'd pay £250
- Tough note, but I wouldn't make an offer

I seem to remember a few years ago (and I'm reasonably sure it was on this forum) someone said that a Chinese Goverment agency made reproduction notes to sell in sets as 'examples' of older Chinese notes.
I wonder if it could be one of those?

Isn't the note pictured about one color short? Exactly what I would do if making an educational copy not likely to pass as genuine.
