By the time this note was issued in 1949, the Central Bank of China was in its death throes. Hyperinflation had already destroyed the gold yuan introduced just the previous year — itself an emergency replacement for the collapsed fabi — and the Nationalist government was hemorrhaging territory to Communist forces. Notes denominated in single digits were functionally meaningless within weeks of printing.
Chung Hwa Book Co. was a Shanghai commercial printer pressed repeatedly into currency production as the established facilities struggled to keep pace with demand. The Canton designation locates the note within a regional series issued as the Nationalists attempted to maintain some semblance of monetary administration in southern China ahead of their eventual retreat to Taiwan.
