CHINA--FOREIGN BANKS. Lot of (2). Russo-Chinese Bank. 1 Tael, ND (1907).

CHINA--FOREIGN BANKS. Lot of (2). Russo-Chinese Bank. 1 Tael, ND (1907). P-S549p1 & S549p2. S/M#O5-30. Front & Back Colour Trials. PMG About Uncirculated 55 to Choice Uncirculated 64. Tientsin. Printed by BWC. This is an extremely elusive design and one we have only handled twice in our long history. This colour trial (labelled as proofs by PMG) also differs from the exceptionally rare adopted design, which is predominantly red, contrasting with this beautiful green and brown design. This AUNC-UNC pair will surely entice collectors, as we've previously only offered the obverse and reverse of this note in different auctions. A significant opportunity to acquire a complete pair, since there are only three colour trial obverses, two colour trials reverses and two fully printed specimens graded by PMG. The Russo-Chinese Bank was formed in 1895 by the French and Russians to help facilitate loans taken by the Qing Government to pay for the indemnities required by the Treaty of Shimonoseki. Its first branch opened in St. Petersburg in January 1896, followed quickly by the Shanghai office in February. The Bank got off to a quick start by handling money from both the Chinese and Russian Governments to construct the China East Railway. By 1902, the Bank became the second largest in China and even opened a branch in San Francisco in 1904. There were 47 office branches in 1907. The Bank merged with Banque du Nord in 1910 to form the Russo Asiatic Bank. PMG Comments "With Specimen Perforation" on both and "Tear" on P-S549p2. Estimate: $4,000 - $7,000. 1907年天津華俄道勝銀行行平化寶壹兩。單面正反面試色樣票。一對。天津地名。由BWC印製。此為極難得一見的設計，在我們悠久的歷史中僅經手過兩次。此試色樣票（PMG標註為試印樣票）與極其罕見的最終採納設計亦有不同--採納版以紅色為主，與此綠與棕色相間的精美設計形成鮮明對比。這對近未流通至未流通品相之珍品必令藏家傾心，因本行往昔僅於不同拍賣分別呈獻其正、反面。此為購藏完整一對的絕佳良機，PMG迄今僅評三枚正面試色樣票、兩枚背面試色樣票與兩枚完整印刷樣票。華俄道勝銀行由法國與俄羅斯於1895年合資創立，旨在協助清政府籌措償付《馬關條約》賠款的借款。其首家分行於1896年1月在聖彼得堡開業，隨後於2月迅速設立上海分行。該行透過經手清俄兩國政府修建中東鐵路的資金而迅速發展。至1902年，該行已成為中國第二大銀行，甚至於1904年在舊金山開設分行。1907年時已有47家分行機構。1910年，該行與北方銀行合併，組成俄亞銀行。PMG於兩枚均備註"帶樣票打孔"，於P-S549p2備註"裂痕"。
