| Opmerkingen |
The Bank of China was reorganized under direct government control in 1912 following the fall of the Qing dynasty, and by 1919 it operated as the principal foreign-exchange bank of the Republic of China. The "Mei" denomination — one-tenth of a dollar — addressed the chronic shortage of small-change instruments in southern coastal trade, where fractional transactions in foreign goods required something more portable than copper cash.
Pick 56 is among the less frequently encountered fractional issues from this period. Redemption drives in the 1930s, combined with the note's low face value encouraging heavy use, account for the attrition in surviving examples.
