The Bank of Shansi, Chahar & Hopei was a communist-controlled regional bank operating under the Jin-Cha-Ji Border Region government — one of several such institutions the CCP established in liberated zones to fund military operations and civilian administration during the civil war against the Nationalists. By 1947, the border region banks were printing in increasingly large denominations as inflationary pressure from the wider Chinese economy bled into even the communist-controlled zones.
Notes from this issuer were withdrawn and demonetized when the People's Bank of China consolidated all regional currency after 1949.
