Musings on Rare Chinese Notes and Foreign Banknotes in China: Examples of Rare Chinese, Korean and Manchurian Paper Money

This book is a reprint of a book originally published in 1949 in Japan. The author, Mr. Nofuku Shigekatsu, was the first coin and paper money dealer to set up shop in Japan. Now there are many, but he was the first. The pictures in this book are of poor quality but in many cases are the only photographs in existence of the notes in question. Included in this book are Korean, Russian, Japanese-Manchurian and many other kinds of notes from the different kinds of banks operating in Imperial and Revolutionary China. This book will be of interest to collectors in the newly emerging field of Scripophilia. Introduction is in English, text is in Japanese and the paper money is mostly in Chinese. All you have to do is be able to read all three languages.
