The Customs Gold Unit was not a general-circulation currency — it was a specialized accounting denomination introduced to collect import duties at a time when hyperinflation had made the standard Fabi hopelessly unstable for fixed-rate tariff assessment. By 1947, the CGU itself was losing the battle against inflation, and denominations climbed rapidly through the series.
Chung Hwa Book Co. was one of the major Shanghai commercial printers pressed into note production during this period, alongside the Central Printing Factory and Ta Tung. The CGU series was discontinued when the Gold Yuan reform swept in during mid-1948 — rendering the entire issue obsolete within roughly a year of printing.
