CHINESE CUSTOM GOLD UNITS





I think these are my favourites from the batch probably because they are printed vertically instead of the more usual horizontal printing.

The top note is the 20 Customs gold units with the issue date as 1930 but these notes were issued right through the 1940's with the 1930 date on them.

similarily the 10 Custom gold units  had the 1930 issue date  through the 1940's too. the 10 cgu note also had 3 different signatures and at the bottom right had two versions - "asst general manager" and " Assistant manager" the one above is the former and i have another one in worse condition with the other one.

Custom Gold Units were primarily used for customs transactions but were issued into general  use too.
