WWII Era Chinese Banknote 1 Yuan. Central Bank of China. 1936

This bill is by far my favorite in the collection, for both its exquisite, about uncirculated condition and the amazing artwork and folklore it depicts. On one side, Confucius meets Tao, each with their 2-wheeled carriage, horses, and an entourage of advisors, all printed on a brown ink. The other side, in bright red-orange, shows a tripod vessel and a portrait. SKN59 is a match to it, but is not in perfect condition like this one.
