A DIFFICULT PAIR OF NOTES

These Two small uniface notes were a bit of a challenge for two reasons. first I don't read Chinese and second they are not listed (at least their photos aren't listed) in any of the reference books so eventually went to google images and looked for a match to get the info.

so these two are the 2 and 5 cent notes from 1949.The two is printed in a sort of brown ink while the 5 cent is printed in red other than that and the numbers in the central panel. I have narrowed it down to probably the Hainan Branch but it could be a Taiwan branch issue.

The gentleman on the notes is Sun Yat Sen
