| Opmerkingen |
The Ho Pei Metropolitan Bank — formally the 京兆銀錢局 — was a provincial institution tied to Hebei governance during one of the most unstable periods of Republican China. By 1936, the region was already operating under severe pressure from Japanese encroachment; the East Hebei Autonomous Council had been established the previous year, and Nationalist authority over the province was increasingly nominal. A copper-coin-denominated note in this environment speaks to the near-total collapse of small-currency supply in rural and peri-urban circulation.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Peking handled the printing — a facility that would change hands politically within a year of this note's issue date.
