The Farmer's Bank of Northwest China was one of several regional institutions operating under Nationalist (Kuomintang) authority during the final years of the Second Sino-Japanese War. By 1945, hyperinflationary pressure was already destroying confidence in Chongqing-backed paper currency throughout the northwest, and notes like this one often depreciated faster than they could be transported to the point of issue.
The Pick listing covers two signature varieties — S3299A and S3299B — distinguished by the authorizing signatories rather than any change in plate design or printing specification. Both circulated in the same region under identical conditions.
