The banks name uses the word \"Communication\" to refer to the linking of two points by a means of transportation, alluding to the original goal of the bank at its founding. After this initial railway purchase, the bank continued its operation in China, issuing banknotes from their multiple locations throughout the country. The Bank of Communications continued to issue Chinese banknotes until their issuance privileges were revoked as a result of the Chinese Civil War in 1942. The bank still operates today, financing a significant percentage of the Chinese economy on the international level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks for stopping by!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1935 China Bank of Communications 5 Yuan Note - Sailing Ships Travel Series - 1935 Chinese Republic Five Yuan Banknote - P#154\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Treasure Hunter Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53318857621801,"sku":"CHN-5Y-1935-P154-AU","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/1540\/3049\/files\/cloe708-22.png?v=1783529395","url":"https:\/\/treasurehunterco.com\/it\/products\/1914-china-bank-of-communications-5-yuan-note-shanghai-stamp-two-printed-signatures-1914-chinese-shanghai-five-yuan-banknote-p-117n-copy","provider":"Treasure Hunter Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
