| Comments |
The Bank of Chinan (Jinan Bank) was a communist-controlled regional bank operating in the Shandong-Jiangsu border region under the Eighth Route Army's economic administration. Its notes circulated in territory that changed hands repeatedly during the final years of the Second Sino-Japanese War and the opening phase of the civil war — which means surviving examples often show hard use, as these were working-class instruments in genuinely unstable conditions, not bank reserves.
1945 issues from this institution are particularly tied to the rapidly shifting military situation in Shandong following Japan's surrender, when the CCP moved aggressively to consolidate financial control ahead of Nationalist forces.
