Chan & Scott Auction House

Colonial, post-war, and occupation issues form the core of this wide-ranging international auction, which brings together rare stamps, banknotes, coins, and porcelain from major world empires and historically significant regions. Collectors will find notable material from the British Empire, French colonial holdings, Portuguese territories, German occupation areas, and Japanese military administrations ? including elusive overprints, provisional issues, and desirable examples of classic postal history. A particularly strong segment of the sale focuses on China, featuring philately, banknotes, coinage, and porcelain from the Qing Dynasty through the Republican era, along with regional issues and specialized overprints. Additional Asian material includes Japanese occupation issues and wartime currencies, together with items from India and Southeast Asia. The auction also presents an appealing complement of North American material, with stamps and numismatics from the United States, Canada, and Mexico, representing both early domestic productions and historically significant regional varieties. Uniting these varied sections is an emphasis on scarcity, authenticity, and historical relevance. This sale will appeal to collectors of worldwide stamps, colonial currency, Asian collectibles, distinctive overprints, and international numismatics ? a catalogue that spans centuries of global postal and monetary history.
