Z-379051 (It's me there, The finest) / Album 1979.2. Extremely fine with clear readable legends both sides. The "bu-hua 不花" type is much rarer then the usual "Tax" type, specially in this superb condition so safely to say this piece is essentially flawless, a formidable example of its kind. Yes Extremely Rare.
Please check and comapre with other nice example but nowhere near this which is
