gxseries Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 It seems like that they are Chinese notes, or rather issued in Taiwan in 1949. (year 38) The top note is 1 fen and the bottom is 5 fen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 From the name of the bank, I would think that they were issued in Hainan Island (just south of Kwangsi) in early 1949. However, I have seen quite a few of them (and only in UNC), so I think that they might have actually been unissued notes which then got dumped on the numismatic market.

coinsnpaper Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 The PS numbers are from Pick's Specialized catalogue, where they are listed in the Provincial area. The China section is divided into Foreign Banks in China, Provincial banks, and Communist Banks. The H numbers refer to Smith and Matravers book on Chinese Paper Money, which was the first English-language book on Chnese paper money. Most of this issue is common, but some are decidedly scarce.
