(t) CHINA--REPUBLIC. Central Bank of China. 100 Yuan, 1945. P-277B.

(t) CHINA--REPUBLIC. Central Bank of China. 100 Yuan, 1945. P-277B. S/M#C300. PMG About Uncirculated 55. Printed by the Shanghai Central Printing Factory (CPFS), 'For Circulation in Taiwan'. Purple-blue, Sun Yat Sen at left, similar in appearance to the Fabi notes issued in the 1940s. Extremely rare. Tied with one other note as the finest graded in the PMG population report. In 1945, Japan surrendered Taiwan back to China after ruling it for fifty years. In October that year, the Finance Ministry of the Nationalist Government authorised the printing of these notes in order to integrate the local economy with the Mainland. However, due to local officials' and merchants' preference for Bank of Taiwan banknotes, these notes were never officially released and only a few escaped destruction. Denominations of 1, 5, 10, 50 and 100 Yuan were proposed, but only the 10, 50 and 100 Yuan notes are known to exist. All are extremely rare. Estimate: $4,000 - $7,000. Provenance: From the Renaissance Collection of Central Bank of China. 民國三十四年中央銀行壹佰圓。中央印製廠上海廠印製，屬"台灣流通券"系列。紫藍色，左側為孫中山頭像，外觀與1940年代發行之法幣相近。極其珍罕。與另一張並列PMG冠軍分。1945年日本戰敗投降，台灣在受日本統治五十年後光復回歸。同年10月，國民政府財政部核准印製該套紙幣，意在將台灣地方經濟與大陸內地接軌。然而由於當地官員及商民更傾向於使用台灣銀行券，該批紙鈔最終未曾正式發行，僅有極少數倖免於銷毀。該系列原規劃印製壹圓、伍圓、拾圓、伍拾圓及壹佰圓，但目前已知僅存拾圓、伍拾圓及壹佰圓三種，均極其珍罕。 (t) This lot was manufactured in China (including Hong Kong), Russia or Republic of Belarus and was sourced from outside the United States for this auction after tariffs were enacted by the United States.
