First time I saw a coin pictured on a banknote. Anyone know if there are others? Was the coin on the banknote supposed to inspire confidence or was it to show convertibility into hard cash? Any thoughts appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

The back of this Anhwei banknote specifically mentions that any vendors who rejected this note should be held accounted for by the government. Most of the Chinese papermoney before the 1900s were exchangable for copper cash coins rather than silver, so I think they really wanted the local people to know these new banknotes were equivalent to silver coins. Some other provincial governmental or private banks did that in the same time period as well: Kiangnan, Yu Ning Imperial Bank, 1905, 1 dollar http://banknote.ws/COLLECTION/count...CINS1168.htm Kwangtung Currency Bureau, 1904, 1 dollar http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/c...CINS2385.htm A private bank called "Wan Yi Chuan" in Tientsin, 1903. Just in case people didn't understand how valuable 10 dollars is, this banknote depicted 10 silver dragons in a stack! https://www.ma-shops.com/cdma/item.php?id=42676 Report this Post to the Staff
