The Bank of China was established in February 1912, within weeks of the Qing dynasty's abdication, replacing the old Daqing Bank as the new republic's central financial institution. This 1 Yuan note is among the earliest issues under that mandate — printed by the American Bank Note Company in New York, a firm that handled currency production for multiple Asian governments during a period when domestic security printing infrastructure simply did not exist in China.
Pick 25 is known with several branch overprints, each designating a specific city of payment. These overprints significantly affect scarcity; certain provincial branches issued far smaller quantities, and notes bearing those overprints trade at substantial premiums over the common Shanghai examples.
