The Bank of China's 1918 small-denomination issues were part of a broader push to consolidate the national banking system following the reorganization of the Ta-Ching Government Bank into the Bank of China in 1912. American Bank Note Company had a long relationship with Chinese banking institutions by this point, and the quality of their intaglio work on these fractional notes was markedly superior to contemporaneous domestic printing — a deliberate choice, as public confidence in paper money was still fragile after the currency chaos of the late Qing period.
Pick 49 is among the scarcer ABNC-printed Bank of China fractionals from this period, with genuinely circulated examples harder to locate than their face value would suggest.
