| Comments |
The Inner Mongolia People's Bank operated as a regional Communist authority issuer ahead of the formal establishment of the People's Republic of China in October 1949, giving its notes a transitional character — neither fully provisional nor standard PRC issue. The dual denomination, expressed in both Yuan and Tögrög, reflects the bank's jurisdiction over a population that straddled Han Chinese and Mongolian-speaking communities, each with distinct monetary reference points.
Year 38 corresponds to the 38th year of the Republic of China calendar. The CCP-controlled regional banks continued using that dating system briefly into 1949 before abandoning it entirely.
