Bank of China's 1917 dollar notes were issued in a politically fractured China — the republican government in Beijing was nominally in control, but regional warlords and competing financial interests made uniform currency circulation deeply uneven. The American Bank Note Company had been supplying Chinese financial institutions with engraved notes since the late Qing period, and by 1917 ABNC work was considered a mark of institutional credibility in the treaty-port banking world.
Pick 38 exists in multiple place-name varieties — Shanghai, Peking, Tientsin, Harbin, and others — each overprinted or printed for a specific branch, which affects relative scarcity considerably. Collectors frequently undervalue the rarer branch designations when comparing against the more common Shanghai issues.
