Opmerkingen

The Customs Gold Unit was introduced in February 1948 as a notional currency pegged to gold, intended to stabilize import duties at a time when the Gold Yuan and its predecessors were collapsing under hyperinflation. In practice, the peg held only briefly. By the autumn of 1948, the entire monetary system was in freefall, and denominations climbed into the tens of thousands almost immediately after the series launched.

ABNC produced the plates in New York; the notes were shipped to China for issue through the Central Bank. The 25,000 unit denomination signals how quickly the original anchoring rationale had dissolved.
