Chinese grain and cooking oil ration coupons (粮票/油票) were administered at every level of the bureaucratic hierarchy — national, provincial, municipal, district, and sub-district — and this suburban district-level coupon from Yangzhou sits at one of the more granular tiers. The Jiangsu provincial rationing system persisted longer than many other provinces; national grain coupons were formally abolished in 1993, making 1992 issues among the last produced before the system collapsed entirely.
District-level cooking oil coupons from suburban administrative units are noticeably scarcer than city-centre equivalents, as print runs were calibrated to registered household populations in peri-urban areas.
