About This Series

The Dah Kiang Bank series of China Communist Banks in the World Currency contains 33 distinct entries.
The Dah Kiang Bank (DKB) was established in the spring of 1941 in Wuwei County, central Anhui Province. The paper quality of its notes is generally poor, with earlier issues printed by woodblock. It is believed the majority of banknotes issued by the Dah Kiang Bank came in a range of different colors, the reason for which, and number of which, is unknown. To accommodate future unknown color combinations, the catalog thus departs from usual practice and uses a single capital letter after the catalog number to indicate a second, or subsequent, color variety. The name of the issuer as it appears from 1944 onwards, as well as other non-ideographic text on the notes, appears in the now defunct Latinxua Sin Wenz (Latinized New Script). This was the first romanization system used in place of Chinese characters by native Chinese speakers and was developed by groups of Chinese and Russian scholars in the USSR. For a time, shortly before and after the Communist Revolution of 1949, the system was very important in spreading literacy. In August 1945, the Dah Kiang Bank merged with the Bank of Central China (B25901).
