| Comments |
The Bank of Nenghiang Sheeng — more accurately rendered as the Nenjiang Provincial Bank — was one of several short-lived Communist-backed regional institutions established in Manchuria immediately after Soviet forces withdrew and before the People's Liberation Army consolidated control. The 1946 period in this region was administratively chaotic: Nationalist and Communist administrations both issued competing currency, and notes like this one often circulated within tightly bounded geographic zones under military rather than civilian oversight.
The "P" suffix in the Pick reference indicates a proof or specimen rather than a regularly issued note — significant, given how few records survive from these provisional Manchurian issuers.
