| Opmerkingen |
The Bank of Communications, nominally a quasi-government institution, was operating under increasingly fractured conditions by 1941 — the Japanese occupation had severed its northern networks, and the Nationalist government had relocated its financial operations inland to Chongqing. Notes from this period were produced in the unoccupied interior, with Dah Tung Book Co. serving as one of the few domestic printers still under Nationalist control capable of producing currency at volume.
Wartime paper quality was inconsistent across the series, and P#159 examples show considerable variation in ink depth and registration — a direct consequence of supply constraints rather than printing error.
