5 Percent Gold Loan of 1913 for the Lung Tsing U Hai Railway, £20, 1936
Scope and Contents
"The authorised issue size of this bond was £10,000,000 however only £4,000,000 was issued. The bond was offered in Brussels and Paris with a small quantity being issued in London (£50,000) at approximately 92% of face value. Following the renegotiation of the bond in 1936 new coupon sheets were issued (which are attached to this bond). The renegotiation cancelled all outstanding interest payments due on the bonds and reduced the rate of interest payable. Notwithstanding the readjustment, the last interest payment made on the bonds was in July 1939.” – www.chinabondshop.com
