Jehol Province — a short-lived administrative entity carved from Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, and Rehe — had itself been abolished by the time this note was issued in 1947, making the Jehol Provincial Bank one of the more anomalous issuing authorities of the Chinese civil war period. The bank continued operating under Communist administration even as Nationalist and CCP forces contested the region, and the Rehher Sheeng romanization reflects the Mandarin pronunciation of the province's name in the Wade-Giles-adjacent transliteration common on notes produced for trans-regional trade and identification purposes.
The two Pick references — S3427A and S3427B — indicate distinct varieties, most likely differing in serial number format, printer's imprint, or paper stock rather than in design.
