Stack’s Bowers and Ponterio will be organising the Hong Kong Coin and Paper Money auction from 19th to 22nd August during the Hong Kong Coin Show. Several interesting banknotes would be offered during the sale. One of the highlights is a very scarce 10 Yuan Test Note from China, graded Gem 65EPQ produced by the Beijing Banknote Printing Company, depicting a portrait of Confucius and a watermark of Chairman Mao Zedong.
