5 Yuan Bank of Inner Chiang

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.
