| Anmerkungen |
The Da-Qing Baochao ("Great Qing Treasure Notes") were issued by imperial edict beginning in 1853 as the Qing treasury hemorrhaged silver fighting the Taiping Rebellion. The government had already debased its copper coinage — the Da-Qing Tongbao cash coins the notes nominally represented — which meant paper denominated in copper was backed by metal already worth less than its face value. Structural inflation was built into the series from inception.
By 1861 the notes had lost virtually all public confidence and ceased to circulate at meaningful value. The Board of Revenue quietly discontinued the issue by 1864. Surviving examples are fragile; the paper stock used was domestic mulberry-fiber, prone to splitting along fold lines.
