1 Dollar Kwangtung Provincial Bank

Kwangtung Provincial Bank operated under the Nationalist government's push to regionalize banking infrastructure in the late 1920s and early 1930s, a policy that produced dozens of provincial institutions with overlapping and often competing note issuances. The American Bank Note Company's involvement here is purely commercial — ABNC held extensive contracts with Chinese provincial and central banks throughout this period, and the Kwangtung series was one of several concurrent Chinese commissions running through their New York presses simultaneously.

By 1935, the Nationalist government's currency consolidation effectively rendered most provincial bank notes redundant, sharply curtailing the active circulation life of this series.
