Taiwan - 100 Yuan Uncut Sheet Comm. 100th Year of the Republic of China

100th Year of the Republic of ChinaReverse
Front Cover

The above note was first released in 2000. This new note is now overprinted to celebrate the 100th year of the founding of the Republic of China, following the Chinese revolution that started on 10.10.1911. The revolution was started during the Wuchang Uprising (Hebei province) which led to the collapse of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. The interesting story was that the uprising started purely by accident when a bomb built by the revolutionaries exploded in the Russian concession of the city. This led to police to investigate and discovered list of Literary Society members in the Qing Dynasty army. Knowingly that these members will certainly face arrested and execution, they staged a coup immediately. The local official panicked and fled and the army took over the city in less than a day. The revolutionaries then telegraphed other provinces asking them to declare their independence and within six weeks, 15 provinces had seceded. The revolution did not end until 12.2.1912 following the abdication of the last Emperor of China.

Whilst this note depicts Dr Sun Yat-sen, it should be noted that Dr Sun has nothing to do with the uprising, as he was visiting in the US then. He only found out the uprising following a report on the local newspaper in US. Following the uprising, the revolutionaries realized that they needed a high ranking officer to be their figurehead leader. Li Yuanhong, a General in the Qing Army, was then forced at gun point to lead the revolutionaries. General Li initially was reluctant to accept but later agreed when he saw the growing momentum of the uprising. On 1.1.2012, Dr Sun Yat-sen was appointed as the first Provisional President with Li Yuanhong as his Vice President. Following a successful negotiation with General Yuan Shikai, Dr Sun stepped down as the Provisional President in favour of General Yuan, who was appointed as the Provisional President on 14.2.1912 with Li Yuanhong as his Vice President.

In Taiwan the uprising is known as Double Ten (++) and in China, Hong Kong and Macau, this day is known as the Anniversary of Xinhai.

In addition to the change in the prefix, the serial number has also reduced from 8 to 7 digits too. However one can also argued that the only alteration is the second letter prefix swap place with the first numeral digit, if you know what I mean.

China - Nansha Islands Overprints

2010-02-07T08:47:00.008+11:00

Nansha Islands (Spratly Islands)

The following notes have the following overprints in both simplified Chinese (obverse) and in English (reverse):-

"FOR USE ONLY IN NANSHA ISLANDS"

For Chinese character overprint, please see scans.

A red South China Sea Fleet square chop (Chinese seal) on reverse.

(It appears that one of the Chinese characters was written in traditional writing)

The Spratly Islands (known as Nansha Islands to the Chinese) consist of more than 100 small islands or reefs. These islands are surrounded by rich fishing grounds and potentially by gas and oil deposits. It is estimated that the Spratly area holds oil and natural gas reserves of 17.7 billion tons, as compared to the 13 billion tons held by Kuwait, placing it as the fourth largest reserve bed in the world. Because of the potential economic benefits, these islands are claimed in their entirety by the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, and Vietnam, while portions are claimed by Malaysia and the Philippines. About 45 islands are occupied by relatively small numbers of military forces from China, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Brunei has established a fishing zone that overlaps a southern reef but has not made any formal claim yet. The Islands are located in the Southeastern Asian group of reefs and islands in the South China Sea, about two-thirds of the way from southern Vietnam to the southern Philippines. According to the Chinese Government, the Nansha Islands comes under the jurisdiction of Hainan province. Until recently, I have never seen or heard of these notes before. I am not sure if these overprinted notes are genuine, propaganda or similar to those notes issued by the Taiwanese government for the islands of Kinmen and Matzu. Perhaps these notes are issued to re-enforce the Chinese claims on the islands. Whatever the reasons, these notes are really a mystery to me! Somehow, I have the feeling that these overprints are not authorized and obviously done by private individuals. I am interested to find out if there are other notes issued with similar overprints. If you have any information on this topic, please feel free to contact me.

If you are a collector from Japan and in the position to offer a full set of the current banknotes of your own country please feel free to get intouch with me. I do have the full set from 1000 to 10,000 Yen, but unfortunately they are only in aUNC condition at best, mainly due to binding marks and minor creases.
