| Opmerkingen |
The Bank of Kiang Nau was a regional Chinese puppet bank operating under Japanese occupation authority in the Yangtze delta region. By 1945, with the Pacific War in its final months and Japanese military authority collapsing across occupied China, notes issued by these puppet institutions were losing purchasing power rapidly — often outpaced by inflation before they even reached circulation.
Pick S3135B falls within the "S" prefix of the Standard Catalog, designating it as a regional or local Chinese issue rather than a central government emission. Survival rates for these late-occupation puppet notes vary considerably; wartime paper quality was frequently poor, and redemption after liberation was not guaranteed.
