| Comments |
The Bank of Neijiang Province (嫩江省銀行) was a short-lived Chinese provincial institution operating in the immediate postwar period, when Nationalist and Communist forces were both scrambling to establish financial control across Manchuria. Neijiang — also romanized as Nenjiang — was a northeastern province created under the Nationalist reorganization of Manchuria in 1945 after the Soviet withdrawal, and it ceased to exist as an administrative unit within a few years as Communist forces consolidated the region.
The Pick S-prefix assignment signals a regional or local issuer outside the central banking structure. Notes from this series rarely survived in quantity; provincial paper from contested Manchurian territories was frequently demonetized, destroyed, or simply lost in the chaos of the civil war years.
