876/​331

China, Ming Dynasty, Board of Revenue, 1 Kuan (1000 Cash), 1368–1399, Pick AA10, printed on mulberry bark paper and stamped with the Red Seal of Emperor Hung Wu

Provenance: This and the following five lots have been consigned by the grandson of the renowned Danish collector and engineer Sophus Black (1882–1960), who was stationed in China from 1902 to 1931. They have never been on the market since originally acquired by Sophus Black. Most of the known examples in the world today can actually be traced back to this collection, and in a market where counterfeits sadly seem to proliferate, provenance has never been more important.
