Commentary
FIVE TICALS / CINQ TICAUX. Ce billet est probablement l'un des premiers billets imprimés, il n'est pas le Spécimen : d'une part la date est différente de celle citée par le Dr. Kolsky, d'autre part le billet est perforé "ANNULÉ" et non pas "spécimen". Les signatures, titres et décrets sont conformes, le papier est filigrané, le revers comporte les textes originaux chinois et thaï. À notre connaissance, il n'existe pas de billet émis connu de ce type. Notre exemplaire est certainement ce qui s'en rapproche le plus. Étudié par le Dr. Kolsky dans le Trésor du Ministère des Colonies après la publication de la seconde édition de son ouvrage sur la Banque de l'Indochine..

The signatures, titles and decrees are correct, the paper is watermarked, the reverse includes the original Chinese and Thai texts. To our knowledge, there is no known issued note of this type. Our example is certainly the closest. Studied by Dr. Kolsky in the Treasury of the Ministry of Colonies after the publication of the second edition of his work on the Bank of Indochina.
