| Opmerkingen |
By 1944 the Central Bank of China was printing currency under conditions of severe wartime strain — Japanese occupation had displaced the government and its financial apparatus to Chongqing, and inflation was accelerating badly enough that a 100 Yuan note was already losing practical purchasing power almost as fast as it could be issued. The Central Bank's own printing works had been relocated and were operating under resource constraints that show in the production quality of this series.
Pick 260 belongs to a period when note output was prioritized over longevity. High-circulation attrition combined with postwar currency reforms in 1948 means survivors in any presentable state are fewer than the print volumes might suggest.
