These Chinese gold notes were primarily used for customs payments. They promise to pay the bearer on demand at its office 10 or 20 customs gold units. What’s interesting about this 2-note set is their unusual orientation that features vertical designs, including a portrait of Sun Yat-Sen, the first president of the Republic of China. All wording on the back of each note is in English.
