| Comments |
The Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region was the Communist Party's administrative heartland during the Second Sino-Japanese War and the resumed civil war that followed — Yan'an sat at its center. By 1946, the Border Region had developed a parallel monetary system entirely separate from Nationalist-controlled currency zones, and trading companies like this one issued notes that functioned as both commercial instruments and tools for controlling the flow of goods across the region's porous boundaries.
The "Maojiuans Liutungkyan" designation in the name likely reflects a transliteration tied to specific local circulation or redemption authority — a reminder that many Border Region issues had geographically restricted validity rather than region-wide acceptance.
