The Tainan Official Bank Note General Bureau existed for a matter of weeks. It was established by officials of the short-lived Taiwan Republic — the "Republic of Formosa" declared in May 1895 following the Qing cession of Taiwan to Japan under the Treaty of Shimonoseki — as a desperate attempt to fund military resistance against the incoming Japanese forces. Japanese troops entered Tainan in October 1895, effectively ending the republic after roughly five months.
Notes of this issue are among the earliest paper currency produced on Taiwanese soil under a locally constituted authority. Circulation was negligible; the issuing institution collapsed before any meaningful distribution could occur.
