http://indianbanknotes.blogspot.com/
During turbulent period of the Bank of Bengal existence and later period till 1840s there were
lot of thugs roaming in India who mark the wealthy people and robbed them after strangling them
under these circumstances the Bank of Bengal was the only bank to plan the curbing of this menace,
started to send half of the note first when this reached safely second half was dispatched. If the first or
the second half of the note was stolen the Bank of Bengal issued the duplicate notes after the issue of
the BOND OF INDEMNITY on behalf of Bank of Bengal to the loser and vice versa. This bond was issued
double the amount lost taking the pledge from the person who lost this notes, after stipulating time the
notes were re issued to the person.
The Bank of Bengal the bond of indemnity covers the details of the number the note along
with the date and value plus details of who signed the note. The pledge of will be between the person
who lost the notes and the secretary and the treasurer of Bank of Bengal. This was signed sealed and
delivered in the presence of a witness. You can notice the buttons is with each the entire bond of
indemnity was sealed and put into safe custody for a stipulated period arrives. When there get the
information about that the note was not presented in any way in India and in London plus china
including all parts of the British crown provinces. Once the information was circulated as the payment
for this number note has been stopped all over the British crown. This another note which was
presented at the bank of Bombay was re issued. The issue of new note was also endorsed on the bond
and after the scrutiny the new now note was issued. This was the history behind the half note.
The entire set of notes is displayed here in the competition section. Look at it once in a life time chance
and give your comments which will be greatly appreciated and acknowledged properly.

One more unique item for display. I request you to throw some light on this subject which was new and
enigmatic one as the government of china refused to give information as well as acknowledge the same
happened in India. We the citizens rather the numismatic fraternity should fight that the Chinese
government should accept the same. Please sign the petition prepared to this affect which will be
submitted to the government of India, external ministry. The matter will be upraised with the honorable
president of India, the prime minister of India as well as the archives department for information and
the same will be tried to be put as a question in the Lok sabha and the Rajya Sabah, please help us to
get the wanted information from the government of india so that the subject is given proper importance
by putting the information into the limelight. You will be suppressed that a Chinese group of firms have
printed and issued few notes which are not issued regularly but are found in archives. Luckily the author
has one original note of that in collection which will be printed in the forth coming magazine which will
be issued quarterly by me soon.
The Bank of china as well as the Bank of agriculture.
The bank of china was being put into band list and all its assets freezed by the United States of America
during the cold war between the people’s republic of china. Under these circumstances when there is no
other hope the people’s republic of china which was thought to be a rebel china country which revolted
against the Chinese government under changkikshek against whom the communist of the main land of
china won victory, over throwing the earlier government and thrown them out the country when the
imperial government settled and established their government in the island of Farmosa under the name
and style of republic of china.
Under these circumstances the united states of America supported the hoisted government
which ruled from the island and stopped all relations with the communist china. When the America
economic sanctions were implemented the government of china took help of the government of india
started their banking from the Kolkata branch started operating from here. All the payments even to the
limitation department were operated from the Kolkata branch only. They issued checks for payments of
all trans-sections including the purchases other services rendered to the communist china from Kolkata
branch.
Not only they operated from the Kolkata branch they also issued the economic bonds from
the business capital of India, Bombay and issued bonds. The bonds were issued by three different
organizations such as the bank of communication which is purely dealing in economic transactions, bank
of china and the reconstructions bonds of china. These were issued for the benefit of china in large scale
during that time. We helped china during its hard time but till today they never accepted our help.
The bonds were issued by big four banks of peoples republic of china, here I am stressing the
peoples republic of china because this was governed by the communist china as during that period the
bank of china was run one part by the communist area the other part from Taiwan and partially some
accounts were being run even in the main land china under the communist regume by the Farmosa
banking institutions. This was a unique sinario created only because of this sanctions by the united
states of America and its friends.
Under this background the peoples republic of china took a new shape and started issuing the
economic bonds for 500 yuan and 1000 yuan respectively. They issued bonds on behalf of ‘BIG FOUR’
1. The central bank of china, farmers bank of china, bank of communications and the bank of china
together issued these bonds for heavy amounts about which we are not getting any information
from the bank of china which is adamant to share the information about this dark days in the
annals of peoples republic of china history. During 1948 all of them work together and bank of
china became independently a purely commercial bank.
When the civil war ended in 1949, the bank of china split into two operations part of the bank
working from Taiwan and the other part was organized by KMT-KUOMINTANG government. It was
privatized only in 1971 to become international, commercial Chinese antipathy under the name and
the style of international commercial bank of china. For Chinese text see my blog .

by Indian banks. This is a rare incident where such rings were accepted by Indian banks
which is waiver of rules which was never done by Indian banks so far. This is a privilege
given to china during that time as a good will gesture only to support the government of
china KMT government. Some more unique points can be observed on the collection of
