The Bank of Communications was one of China's two principal government banks in the Republican period, and by 1935 it was operating under increasing pressure from the Nationalist government's push to consolidate financial control. The note predates by mere months the landmark currency reform of November 1935, when the fabi system replaced silver-backed currency — notes already in circulation from this series were simply absorbed into the new regime without reissue.
De La Rue's involvement guaranteed a level of security printing unavailable domestically at the time. The Shanghai forgery networks were sophisticated enough that foreign-printed issues were specifically preferred by the issuing banks for higher denominations.
