About the Chinese money, do you collect Central Bank issues only, or also the commercial bank notes (Communications, Farmers, etc)?


WD, I imagine that there is quite a bit of everything. A lot of it consists of notes from the very early 1900s, 1800s and some much earlier than that. I do remember that some of my favorites were from the National Commercial Bank, and had portraits of unscrupulous looking hooded characters with long beards on the faces, and chickens on the backs. (I called them the chicken notes).

Here is a scan of the only Chinese note that I have here at home right now. I didn't know what it was, but Sap identified it for me as S-1881, (not in 'my' pick book) with a value of 'reported, not confirmed'.

zeewool:

Do you telling me which Denominations/Signitures were copied for the Free Thai notes?

Other than their existence I have found little online about them. I have a friend that is going to Thailand in January, I hope that I can get him to bring me one of the catalogs back.

Thanks!

Sure Chris, I can do that, and I will just as soon as I get home....(I have to go somewhere this morning, but I promise to get this information to you today).

Okay Chris, here it is:

The notes are 1, 5, and 10 baht......They all have the same signature and here is a scan of it:

Here is a chart of the denominations (1 , 5, 10), the prefix letter and number and the serial number range that were redone by the English Government in WWII:

As you can see, both of the notes that I have pictured fall into these parameters.....The majority of notes (even if they have the same signature and the same prefix letter and number) are not Free Thai notes because their serial numbers do not fall within the range dictated by this chart.....You may have to copy the chart and blow it up to read it well.....Let me know if you need further clarification.
