2 Chiao Jianli Worker's and Farmer's Bank

The Jianli Worker's and Farmer's Bank was one of dozens of short-lived soviet-area financial institutions that emerged across Hubei and Hunan during the Communist base area period of the early 1930s. Jianli County, sitting on the north bank of the Yangtze in central Hubei, fell within the contested Honghu Soviet zone — a region under intermittent Red Army control between 1929 and 1932, when Nationalist encirclement campaigns eventually dismantled the local soviet apparatus entirely.

Notes from these county-level revolutionary banks were produced locally under resource constraints, issued in small quantities, and circulated within tightly bounded geographic areas. The unlisted Pick status reflects how incompletely documented this entire class of Chinese soviet-period currency remains.
