| Comments |
The Ta-Ching Government Bank was established by imperial edict in 1905, one of two modern central banking institutions — alongside the Hu Pu Bank — created during the Qing dynasty's final reform push. This 1906 issue predates the dynasty's collapse by only five years. The bank never achieved the monetary consolidation it was designed to produce; provincial authorities continued issuing competing paper with little coordination from Beijing.
Pick A73 is among the earlier dated issues of the series. Surviving examples are uncommon — the political chaos following 1911 disrupted any systematic retirement or archiving of Qing-era paper.
