The Customs Gold Unit (關金券) was introduced in 1930 as a notional accounting currency for paying import duties, pegged to the US dollar at a fixed rate. By 1948, that fiction was long dead. Hyperinflation had consumed the Nationalist government's finances, and the CGU notes — originally never intended for general circulation — were being issued in absurdly large denominations to keep pace with a collapsing economy.
The 2000 CGU sits in the middle of this desperate late-series escalation, issued just months before the Gold Yuan reform of August 1948 swept the entire CGU series into obsolescence.
