The Central Bank of China's 1945 high-denomination issues came at a moment of severe inflationary pressure — wartime military expenditure and the disruption of Japanese occupation had already badly eroded public confidence in fiat currency. The 1000 Yuan note arrived not as a convenience but as a symptom, its denomination made necessary by a price spiral that would eventually require denominations in the tens of millions before the Nationalist government collapsed entirely in 1949.
The Central Printing Factory operated multiple facilities across unoccupied China during this period, and attribution to a single plant within that network is rarely possible for 1945 issues.
