| Comments |
Ta Chiang Bank was one of several regional banks operating under Communist Party administration in the border region territories during the final years of the Second Sino-Japanese War. By 1945, these institutions were issuing their own currency partly to finance military operations and partly to displace Nationalist-issued notes from local circulation — a deliberate economic strategy as much as a banking function.
The Pick reference S3694 places this firmly in the "local" and provisional category. Notes from this issuer are rarely encountered outside specialist Chinese revolutionary-period collections.
