Tsinghai (Qinghai) in the mid-1930s was among the most remote and administratively thin provinces in Republican China, and its Bureau of Finance issued notes largely to function within a local economy that had almost no connection to the central banking apparatus in Nanjing. The Peking Printing Company — a commercially contracted house rather than a government security printer — handled the job, which was the practical reality for many provincial authorities that lacked printing infrastructure of their own.
Survival rate is low, almost certainly a function of limited original print runs and poor storage conditions in the region rather than heavy circulation.
