An illustration of a Chinese banknote from a paper about the monetary history of China written by John E. Sandrock.<br><br><b>WARNING</b>: The notes (Chinese name: "大遼颁行寳钞") are otherwise seemingly impossible to find in any Western or Chinese sources. Possibly a 19th (nineteenth) century fake designed to trick collectors into buying fake banknotes during the late Manchu Qing Dynasty period.
