I managed to get a pile of Chinese notes from an antiques fair at the weekend and so there are a lot of them, some of them quite interesting, so I will split them up over 3 or 4 posts.
This first lot are all from the Central bank of China and are from the 1930's and 40's. They are all pre - the people's republic as it came into being in 1949.
The first note at the top is the 5 Dollars and was issued from Shanghai in 1930, with Sun Yat-sen on the front and a chinese temple on the back.
The next one is the 10 Yuan from 1936 again with Sun Yat-sen and a temple on the reverse.
The third note is the 20 Yuan from 1948 with Chiang kai-shek on the front and a building on the reverse.
Finally, its the 100 Yuan with sun yat-sen on the front and this is from 1941.
