The 100 year period from 1850 to 1950
was marked by a series of turbulent
events in China's history. During that
time the Chinese Government sought to
raise funds for various projects by
initiating a series of loans where the aim
was to encourage foreign investment.
In the main the loan arrangements were by the issuance of fixed interest bearer bonds. These bonds not only had face value but many of them were aesthetically pleasing as they were designed and printed to a high standard of excellence.

Many bonds were redeemed but a large
number of the loans were defaulted by
the Chinese Government, leaving
investors with "worthless" bits of paper
script. But now the "worthless" script has
become collector's items and the bonds
are fetching high prices in auctions
worldwide.
