Commenti	The Bank of Taiwan's 1949 5 Yuan note belongs to the opening phase of Taiwan's monetary separation from the mainland — the Bank of Taiwan having been designated the island's sole currency authority in June 1946, inheriting the Japanese colonial infrastructure almost wholesale. The Central Engraving and Printing Factory in Taipei, originally established under Japanese administration, was retained and put directly to work producing the new series. The "antedated" designation is the critical detail here. Notes in this series carry dates earlier than their actual production, a deliberate administrative practice used during the chaotic currency transitions of 1949 as the Nationalist government collapsed on the mainland. The pick reference P#1953 suggests catalog classification by the year the dating question was formally resolved, not the year of printing.
