The Customs Gold Unit was not a circulating currency in the conventional sense. Introduced in 1930 to stabilize tariff collection against the depreciation of the silver tael, it was a notional accounting unit pegged to the gold content of the pre-1934 US dollar — a way of extracting predictable revenue from customs duties without actually moving gold.
ABNC produced the series at their New York facility, and the engraving quality is characteristic of their better work from this period. P#328 is the 20 CGU denomination, the middle value in the series, and saw limited use outside official customs and treasury channels.
