The Hopeh-Jehol-Liaoning Liberated Area was one of several Communist-administered zones established in Manchuria and northern China following Japan's surrender in 1945. Currency was essential to consolidating control, and regional banks like the Bank of Rehher Sheeng — romanizing the Chinese abbreviation for the three-province zone — were stood up quickly, often with printing infrastructure inherited or seized from Japanese occupiers. Tung Pei Hifan was one such northeastern printer operating in this immediate postwar period.
This is a back proof, meaning it never entered circulation. Proofs from this issuer are genuinely uncommon — the Bank of Rehher Sheeng was absorbed into broader Communist financial consolidation well before 1949, giving this series an extremely short operational life.
