Chinese Bonds rated TOP 10 Investment by the Mainstream Media!!!! We have a number of these bonds with rough margins – ideal for framing! Worldwide supply of this particular issue has dwindled dramatically over the last couple of years, and we know of not a single replacement source! The reasons for the intense demand for this bond are many. It was issued in 1914 at the very dawn of the post-Imperial era, as China – and the world – were just awakening to its vast resources and ancient cultural heritage. Its value was 500 Gold French Francs and was payable in Gold!!!! It remains 100% Uncancelled and therefore potentially redeemable for as much as 100’s of times our modest price. With 80 virgin coupons, and the current value of gold, the amount of interest due is truly staggering! It was issued in Paris, the epicenter of international finance, and is signed by the Chinese Finance Minister, the Banque Industrielle de Chine, and the Chinese Foreign Minister in Paris. The signatures are accompanied by two red chops. It is positively enormous, weighing in at approx. If you mat and frame this marvel and its attached coupons, you will have the showpiece of a lifetime try black or grey and beige matting in an antique gold frame! Before even setting up our sidewalk display for the day!! Its engraving is breathtaking, with ultra ornate borders, logo, bamboo underprints and more in black, white, brown, gold and yellow, with red serial numbers on each coupon and red chops. 3 fabulous, exotic railroad vignettes (steel-etched illustrations) with trains and antique Chinese buildings and bridges are the icing on the cake. It remains in near mint condition (nearly flawless internally with most wear confined to the outside edge of the extra wide margin), unlike other examples we’ve seen that have stains, adhesive material and margins that are in rags. In our opinion it remains drastically undervalued. It’s not going to be here long. History, antiquity, size, beauty, rarity, and condition all rolled into one magnificent reflection of early 20th Century China!!! Capture it now, or regret its passing into another’s hands.
