All auctions / Postcards & Stamps / JAPAN. New Oriental Bank Corporation Limited. 1 Dollar, 1.1.1886.
One of the Two Finest Known New Oriental Bank $1 JAPAN. New Oriental Bank Corporation Limited. 1 Dollar, 1.1.1886. P-S260a. Low Serial Number. PMG Choice Very Fine 35. Rare and important private bank issue from Japan. This bank was the reorganization of what had started in 1842 as the Bank of Western India, which in 1851 became the Oriental Bank Corporation. The bank soon expanded throughout the region, including in Japan, as well as further abroad in Australia, South Africa and San Francisco. Its success, however, did not continue, and after a number of loans that went bad the bank suspended payments in 1884 and was soon thereafter liquidated. It then became the New Oriental Bank Corporation Limited, which never enjoyed the success of the former institution, and the bank was finally liquidated in 1892. Notes from this institution, such as the one seen here, are seldom seen and are rare. This is a pleasing problem-free circulated example with strong pen signatures. This is tied for finest in the PMG population report with just one other example, and is by far the nicest example of this issue we have ever offered. It also features a low 2-digit serial number. Estimate: $6,000 - $9,000. 新麗如銀行壹圓現知兩枚冠軍分之一 1886年橫濱新麗如銀行壹圓。細編號。 發行於日本一家極具歷史意義的私人銀行，如今已是鳳毛麟角，彌足珍貴。該銀行前身為創立於1842年的印度西部銀行，後於1851年更名為東方銀行。東方銀行業務曾一度蓬勃發展，遍及亞洲各地，包括日本，更遠至澳洲、南非及舊金山等地。然盛極必衰，由於多筆貸款壞帳，銀行於1884年被迫暫停兌付，並於不久後宣告破產。其後雖重組為橫濱新麗如銀行，卻未能重現昔日輝煌，最終於1892年徹底關閉。時至今日，此枚為無瑕無修之流通票，品相優美，墨書簽名清晰深邃。與另一枚並列PMG冠軍分，堪稱我們迄今所見該版別中最出色之作，且帶有兩位數之極低編號。
