100 Yuan

The Central Bank of China's 1945 100 Yuan series printed by ABNC belongs to the final wartime surge of Nationalist currency production, when the Chongqing government was simultaneously fighting Japan and managing an inflation rate that had already rendered smaller denominations functionally useless. By 1945, the fabi — the Nationalist legal tender currency — had lost roughly 2,500 times its 1937 purchasing power, and notes of this denomination were being issued in quantities that the security planchette feature could do little to protect against the far more pressing problem of monetary collapse.

ABNC printed multiple Central Bank of China series during this period using shared plate architecture, so distinguishing issues by date rather than design is often necessary for accurate attribution.
