The Bank of Taiwan's 1949 yuan series was introduced as part of the New Taiwan Dollar reform — a direct response to the catastrophic hyperinflation that had consumed the old Taiwan yuan, itself a legacy currency inherited from the Japanese colonial administration. The June 1949 conversion fixed the rate at 40,000 old yuan to one new dollar, effectively wiping out the accumulated monetary damage of the preceding years.
Printing at the Central Engraving and Printing Factory in Taipei marked a deliberate shift toward domestic production capacity, timed to the KMT government's retreat from the mainland. The factory would carry the full burden of Taiwan's currency production almost immediately.
