The currency portion of the recent Stack’s Bowers and Ponterio Macau world coin and currency auction featured an impressive Pick A126a 1927 China & South Sea Bank Limited 1 Yuan note graded Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ by PMG.

The back is printed in brown with green and pink underprint and features the obverse of the coin with bust of Yuan Shi-Kai at center. Two female busts appear above the coin.
