The Bank of Taiwan — distinct from the Central Bank of the Republic of China — retained its own note-issuing authority for Taiwan Province well into the post-war decades, a peculiarity of the ROC's layered monetary administration. This 10 Yuan denomination was printed domestically by the Central Engraving and Printing Plant, which had relocated from the mainland to Taipei following the KMT's retreat in 1949 and rebuilt its intaglio capacity there through the 1950s.
The P#1979a suffix distinguishes this from earlier printings in the series, reflecting incremental changes — typically in signature combinations or serial block assignments — rather than a redesign.
