100 Coppers Kiangsi Worker's and Farmer's Bank

The Kiangsi Worker's and Farmer's Bank was one of several soviet-area financial institutions established by the Chinese Communist Party during the Jiangxi Soviet period, when the CCP controlled substantial rural territory in southeastern China before the Long March forced their retreat in 1934. These banks issued local currency specifically to displace Nationalist and commercial bank notes from circulation within controlled zones — part of a deliberate economic policy to assert administrative independence from the Republic of China government.

Notes from this issuer are genuinely scarce. The Jiangxi Soviet's collapse and the subsequent military campaigns through the region destroyed most of the institutional records and surviving paper. What exists today largely passed through collector channels in the mid-twentieth century rather than surviving in any organized archive.
