It features 3 phenomenal vignettes (steel-etched illustrations), each filled with images of the Old China including pagodas, junks, peasants in traditional pointed hats, and an Imperial Palace. The central vignette, which is positively enormous, features the God Mercury seated on a bale examining a detailed dynamo symbolic of the future political and economic dynamo China would become! Behind him, a single stack steamship lies at anchor awaiting China’s precious exports. Mercury also appears on each of the coupons! 2 Magnificent red chops – one of them huge – and vertical calligraphy grace the bottom of the bond, which is executed in four languages (English, German, French, and Russan).
