By 1944, the Central Bank of China's note issuance had become an instrument of wartime desperation rather than monetary management. Inflation was accelerating catastrophically — the 500 Yuan denomination, which would have been a substantial sum just years earlier, was rapidly losing purchasing power as the Nationalist government printed heavily to fund operations against both Japanese forces and the Communist armies.
Waterlow & Sons printed this series in London and shipped the finished notes to China — a logistical undertaking that was itself a statement about the collapse of domestic printing capacity under wartime conditions. The Pick 265 series was one of several high-denomination issues Waterlow produced for the Central Bank during this period, as the required face values climbed in lockstep with hyperinflation.
