Ta Chiang Bank (大江銀行) was a regional bank operating under Japanese-sponsored administration in occupied China during the final years of the Second Sino-Japanese War. Notes issued in 1945 belong to the very last phase of that occupation — the Japanese surrender came in August of that year, after which these instruments lost all practical validity almost immediately.
Pick S3698 falls within the "S" prefix of the Standard Catalog, denoting regional or provisional Chinese issues — a category so vast and poorly documented that attribution details for many Ta Chiang notes remain contested. Surviving examples tend to surface in mixed lots rather than as individually tracked pieces.
