The Bank of Communications was established in 1908 under the Qing dynasty to oversee railway and telegraph finances, making it one of the few Chinese banks with a genuinely industrial rather than purely fiscal mandate. By 1914, now operating under the early Republic, it was authorized alongside the Bank of China to issue national currency — a privilege that gave its notes unusual legitimacy during a period when provincial and private bank paper was routinely discounted or refused.
ABNC's engraving work on this series is among the finer examples of their Chinese commissions. The steel-plate printing quality tends to hold up well even on circulated examples, which is worth noting given how heavily the 1 Yuan denomination actually moved through commerce.
