Comments

No verified issuer called "The Bank of Ming Tung" appears in standard numismatic references, and a denomination of 300,000 units on paper without a stated currency, date, or country of issue leaves almost nothing to anchor a catalog entry to. This may be a fantasy or novelty note, a local scrip, or a private printing with no formal monetary authority behind it.

Without confirmed attribution, nothing further can be responsibly stated here.
