| Opmerkingen |
The Mengchiang Bank was a Japanese puppet institution established in 1937 to administer Inner Mongolia under the nominal authority of Prince Demchugdongrub's Mongol Military Government. Its notes displaced both Chinese Nationalist currency and an earlier series from the Federal Reserve Bank of China in the occupied territories, functioning as a tool of economic separation from Chongqing's fiscal control rather than as a response to any genuine regional monetary need.
By 1944 the Japanese war position was deteriorating badly, and late-series Mengchiang notes including this denomination circulated in an economy under severe strain. Hyperinflationary pressure meant high-denomination issues turned over quickly and wore hard.
