Speaking of the denominations of paper money, the denominations of banknotes we are now exposed to are relatively single, and the denominations are all integers. However, during the Republic of China, the denominations of banknotes on the mainland were strange.
From the perspective of small denominations of banknotes, there are 2 dimes and 5 cents, 10 cents, and half a yuan. The larger denominations are 25 yuan, 400 yuan and 2500 yuan, and the large denominations are 50,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan, and the highest denomination is 6 billion yuan banknotes.

Today I will show you a banknote with a denomination of 25 yuan during the Republic of China. This banknote was printed by the Bank of Communications 30th Edition of the Republic of China and the American Banknote Company. The obverse of the banknote features trains, ships, airplanes and a machine-like object, and on the back is an airplane flying over farmland, and the color of the front and back is basically green.
The pattern of this banknote is very beautiful. Among the banknotes of the Republic of China, the banknotes of the four major banks, the banknotes of the Bank of Communications and the Peasants Bank, are relatively prettier than the banknotes of the central bank and the Bank of China.
In addition, the printing company of this banknote is the American Banknote Company, and in terms of the number of banknotes printed in the Republic of China banknotes, the American Banknote Company should be the top three. At that time, the paper, ink, plate making, anti-counterfeiting and other aspects of printing money were first-class in the world, and even now it seems that in some aspects, it is also very worth learning.
The price of Bank of Communications banknotes, in general, is more common, and the price is not high, generally within 100 yuan. This note is a mid-range coin and has a higher price.
