Paper Money-World | AC Coin$🌎

China was Nationally awakening withing the first four decades of the past twentieth century. Its first acclaimed President, as an official Republic, was Sun Yat-Sen. His likeness is portrayed in the twenty "custom gold units" banknote's obverse shown here. He ran the country from 1919 to 1925. The image centered on the bill's reverse is the Central Bank of China at Shanghai. This type of note was originally issued to cover customs charges and rights at the main ports, however its circulation became generalized from 1930 well into 1948. The name of this currency was kept as custom gold units or CGUs. It is considered by enthusiasts and many collectors as a sought historical document. Its main attraction is the vertical orientation like most printed materials from China within those years and earlier times.
