| Comments |
Kiangsi Provincial Bank issued several denominations in 1949 as the People's Liberation Army swept through the province — a currency environment so compressed that many notes were printed, issued, and rendered obsolete within weeks. The Jiangxi Hequn Printing Factory was a local commercial printer pressed into service as the Nationalist financial infrastructure collapsed, which accounts for the noticeably uneven print registration common across this series.
S1089D is among the harder variants to locate in any condition, largely because circulation was brief and the notes that survived did so by accident rather than hoarding.
