By the late Qing Dynasty (1636-1912), China’s traditional currency system gradually collapsed. With the invasion of Western powers and changes in the domestic economic situation, currency reform became imperative. After the establishment of the Republic of China (1912-1949), the currency system underwent multiple adjustments and transformations. From the Beiyang Government to the Nanjing National Government, the authority to issue currency was gradually centralized. However, influenced by domestic and international political and economic factors, the types and designs of banknotes continued to change.
Among these developments, the Great Qing Bank was renamed the Bank of China, which, together with the Bank of Communications, assumed the functions of a central bank. This initiative marked the beginning of the modernization process of China’s currency. Nevertheless, the Republic of China era was characterized by political instability, frequent wars, and inflation, which posed numerous challenges to the issuance and circulation of currency. It was precisely against this complex backdrop that Republic of China banknotes emerged and circulated. These banknotes recorded the economic conditions, political structure, and social landscape of that era, holding immense value for historical research.
1. Bank of China 100-Yuan Banknote
In the collection The Treasure of the Republic of China – Collected Banknotes, the 100-Yuan banknote issued by the Bank of China stands out prominently. The overall design of the banknote is grand and majestic. On the obverse, there is a portrait of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the great pioneer of China’s democratic revolution. His image on the banknote carries significant symbolic meaning, representing the spirit of pursuing democracy and independence during the Republic of China period.
The banknote features a predominantly gray-blue color scheme, with intricate and exquisite patterns adorning the background. These patterns not only serve a decorative purpose but also contribute to anti-counterfeiting to a certain extent. The words "Bank of China" are printed at the top of the banknote, while the denomination "100 Yuan" and the issuance location "Chongqing" are marked at the bottom. The prefix and serial number of the banknote are clearly visible, reflecting the printing technology level of the time.
2. Bank of China 10-Yuan Banknote
The 10-Yuan banknote issued by the Bank of China adopts a bright pink color scheme, creating a soft yet striking visual effect. Similar to the 100-Yuan note, the obverse also bears a portrait of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, demonstrating respect for him and highlighting his important position in the history of the Republic of China.
The central area of the banknote indicates the denomination "10 Yuan," surrounded by exquisite decorative patterns. These patterns are designed based on traditional Chinese elements, exuding a strong Chinese style.

The words "Central Bank of China" are clearly printed at the top of the banknote, and the denomination "5 Yuan" is marked at the bottom. The prefix and serial number are located on the left and right sides of the banknote, respectively.

6. Kwangtung Provincial Bank 10-Cent Banknote

The phrase "Kwangtung Provincial Bank" is printed at the top in a neat and standardized font, reflecting the printing technology of the time. The denomination "5 Cents" appears multiple times on the left and right sides of the banknote as well as in other prominent positions, with clear and eye-catching font for easy recognition by the public. In addition, the banknote is printed with characters such as the prefix "AF"—these unique identifiers for each banknote help track information about the note’s issuance and circulation.
The Treasure of the Republic of China – Collected Banknotes is released in a limited edition of 999 sets. This limited-issue measure has significantly enhanced its collection value and scarcity. In the field of collection, the principle "rarity determines value" holds great importance—its limited circulation volume makes this set of collected banknotes a scarce resource in the market.
