The Bank of Taiwan was reestablished under the Republic of China government in May 1946, shortly after Taiwan's retrocession from Japan following the Second World War. This 100 Yuan note belongs to the earliest series issued under that revived institution — printed on the mainland by the Central Printing Factory before hyperinflation on the mainland and escalating unrest on the island made the currency almost immediately inadequate.
Within two years, the New Taiwan Dollar replaced the Taiwan Yuan at a rate of 40,000 to one. First-series notes like this one had almost no useful circulation life.
