China Russo-Asiatic Bank Harbin 100 Dollars ND (1910) Pick S466 PMG Choice About Unc 58. A Pick S553 Russo-Chinese Bank 100 Taels is the host note for Pick S466. The elusive Pick S466 number has a black overprint that updates it to a Russo-Asiatic Bank One Hundred Dollars and that includes replacing Tientsin with the new location of Harbin. The Russo-Chinese Bank was reorganized in 1910 as the Russo-Asiatic Bank. After the Russian October Revolution of 1917, over 100,000 defeated Russian White Guards and refugees descended upon Harbin. The city became a center for White Russian emigres and the largest Russian enclave outside of the Soviet Union. The Russo-Asiatic head office moved from St. Petersburg to Paris when the Bolsheviks firmly seized power and all assets of the bank within the Soviet Union were nationalized. This beautiful note, without any Russian text, is well centered and exhibits strong serial number embossing.
