The Shun Woo Bank was a small private Chinese bank operating out of Macao during the early Republican period, when dozens of such institutions issued their own notes with minimal regulatory oversight. The Pick 141 is one of the scarcer entries from this category — Macao-issued private Chinese bank paper from the 1930s survives in far lower quantities than comparable notes from Shanghai or Canton, partly because Macao's commercial banking sector remained modest and note runs were correspondingly small.
Few institutional records from the Shun Woo Bank have been documented in Western or Chinese numismatic literature, which makes provenance and print-run data difficult to establish with confidence.
