1 Yuan Chahar Commercial Bank

The Chahar Commercial Bank was established by the Nationalist government to operate in Chahar Province, a politically volatile region on the Inner Mongolian border where Japanese pressure was intensifying through the early 1930s. The bank's operational lifespan was short — Japanese-backed forces effectively severed normal provincial governance in Chahar by 1935, and the currency's circulation area collapsed with it.

Notes from this issuer are genuinely scarce, not because of small print runs but because so few survived the political disintegration of the region.
