    Description

    PINKY IS HERE!
    We have nicknamed this one of a kind Chinese mystery note "Pinky" in honor of its unique wood or screen block
    PINK
    Printing!
    If this note doesn't float your boat then you must not be intrigued by very old, very bold and very rare Chinese currency to which no match can be found, a note that in collector's parlance is "unique" as in only one known. If you happen have another one we will withdraw that designation but right now it stands firm.
    Where do we start describing this remarkable discovery?
    Well, on the front.  Woven into the stunning pink on buff matrix we observe 4 rows of black Chinese writing, 2 black chops, 2 purple chops, 2-3 pink chops (not part of the printing), the black numeral 3 and the purple number 7855!!
    The excitement continues on back. Note that the writing in the top part of the box is modified Arabic (believed to be Uyghur, a Turkic language!) while the bottom part is Chinese. Above that, covering most of the box, is a unique diagonal "checker box" pattern in yellowish brown. And on top of that is a
    HUGE MAGENTA CHOP
    in an altogether different form of Chinese that resembles written Korean!
    If you would like to see your user name in lights please decipher what all of this means. Enquiring minds want to know!
    Very clean overall condition with paper that is remarkably crisp with NO tears and NO holes.
    May be worth 4 if not 5 figures based on uniqueness, rarity and condition but we are putting it out there for just a small fraction of that.
