A huge range of Tibetan banknotes belonging to a famous collector of Tibetan currency, Alexander Boris Lissanevitch, were offered at Stack's Bowers Hong Kong Paper Money sale on 3rd April.

The star note offered at the event was a rare Bank of China 1912 Provisional One Dollar Note featuring Bank of China overprints on Ta Ching Government Bank P-A77. They have beautiful ABN designs for Chinese currency, with multi-colour under-prints, interesting central vignettes and back design.

Very few of these notes are known and most of them are of lower grades. The note offered at the sale features fresh colour and clear details. Even though the note has a vertical fold at the centre and minor stains at the lower border, it’s in fine condition.
