The Customs Gold Unit was not a general-circulation currency. It was created specifically to collect import and export duties, which Republican China had pledged as security for foreign loan obligations — the tariff revenues being legally ring-fenced from ordinary government spending. The CGU was pegged nominally to gold but in practice functioned as a fiscal accounting instrument as much as a banknote.
ABNC produced the series under the same production standards used for its Latin American sovereign clients. The 1930 date places this squarely in the window before the 1933 Silver Purchase pressures began destabilizing Chinese monetary arrangements entirely.
