10 Coppers Fukien-Chekiang-Kiangsi Soviet Bank

The Fukien-Chekiang-Kiangsi Soviet Bank was one of several regional financial institutions established by the Chinese Communist Party in areas under their military control during the Jiangxi Soviet period. This tri-provincial base area — known in Chinese as Min-Zhe-Gan — was a distinct soviet zone from the more famous Central Soviet in Jiangxi proper, operating under its own administrative and financial structures through the early 1930s.

Notes from this issuer are genuinely rare survivors. Nationalist (KMT) encirclement campaigns intensified throughout 1932–1934, and the base area was eventually overrun, which meant most paper currency was either destroyed by retreating forces or confiscated and burned. Few examples entered collector hands through conventional channels.
