The Pingshi Official Money Bureau was a Beijing-based institution operating under the Beiyang government's Ministry of Finance, tasked with stabilizing the chaotic local copper cash market that had plagued the capital for years. Copper-denomination notes of this type were issued specifically to substitute for the low-value copper coins chronically hoarded or refused by the public — a persistent problem in northern China during the early Republic period.
American Bank Note Company held a substantial share of Chinese government printing contracts during this period, and the quality of intaglio work on these small-denomination issues was often considerably finer than the notes' purchasing power warranted.
