The Bank of Taiwan's 1972 100 Yuan issue belongs to a long-running series that the Central Printing Factory in Taipei produced entirely domestically — a deliberate policy maintained by the Republic of China government to avoid any dependency on foreign printers for high-denomination notes. The "offset panel" designation distinguishes this from earlier intaglio-heavy printings in the same series, reflecting a shift toward mixed production methods that reduced cost while the factory scaled up capacity through the early 1970s.
Taiwan's parallel currency system — where Bank of Taiwan notes circulated alongside New Taiwan Dollar issues — had been largely rationalized by this point, and these 100 Yuan notes functioned without ambiguity as standard domestic tender.
