Republic of China 5 Yuan Bill - Front - January 1931 | Republic of China 5 Yuan Bill - Back - January 1931 |
Money Issued by the Republic of China
The Bank of China in Tientsin issued this note on January 1931. The back
proclaims "Bank of China Promises to Pay to the bearer on demand at its office
here Five Yuan National Currency." They show Bank headquarters in Tientsin on
the back of the note. A blank spot on the left back has a picture of the Hall
of Prayer for Good Harvest that you can see holding it to the light. The front
has a clearer picture of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest on the left. I'm
not sure what the picture on the front right might be. Both the General
Manager and Manager signed the note in English. The Thomas De La Rue & Coy.
LTD. London printed the note. I quote the name verbatim.
