Going through some boxes of things I haven't gone through in quite a while, I (re-)found these two bills that I think came to me after my father's passing 15 years or so ago. I have no idea where they come from (though they appear to be either Chinese or Japanese, or perhaps even Korean - to me), nor if they have any value. Due to their condition, I doubt seriously they would have any value as collector's items, but [shrug] they might have some monetary value in exchange... if only I knew where they came from.

Can anyone identify the country of origin and the valuta they represent?

They are Scottish notes.

Well done girl... shame that pompous, foolish Winston didn't have the intelligence to look prior to subjecting us to yet another one of his pathetically inadequate and boring threads.

Come on ... don't be mean. I could read the writing somehow thus making it easier for me.

You would probably be interesting if you didn't get insulting ;)

:rose:
 
Winston,
Apparently you have ARRIVED.
You now have your own personal tag-alonger.

Truth and justice is NEVER insulting my dear...

However, the lack of appreciation for the truth and justice which, I am slowly applying to these misleading, seedy, humourless, filthy, perverted and sick boards IS insulting.

The feet picture is not very clear...

That said, your comment clearly tells me that, your feet are indeed webbed so, STFU.

I'm sure I speak for a multitude here when I ask you to please not stop putting me in my place.

You fit in very well here.

WELCOME!

Okay, there are some similarities between the notes pictured on rida's page, but also some notable differences. See the pics below.

Yep, I noticed the difference ... just didn't have time to dig more :)

But it looks like Zoots_owner found them!

Just the same, the dude on your bills is unquestionably Sun Yat-Sen, so they're surely from the Republic of China.

Edit: They're 200 and 500 yuan notes from 1944.

I also got a reply from Coin Community Forum, which has an identification inquiry thread for coins and paper notes:

These notes are listed in my Pick world banknote catalogue as coming from the 1945 series, and they are dated to that year - the small string of 9 characters in between the two red square seals on the front of the 200 yuan says "Year 34 of the Republic of China". Neither are particularly scarce; in that condition, you'd probably pay 50¢ or $1 each for them from a dealer.

As for face / exchange value, there basically isn't any. The Nationalists ended up losing the civil war, and the Nationalist yuan suffered from severe hyperinflation as the war progressed. In 1948, the old yuan was replaced by the "gold yuan" at a rate of 3 million to one. Finally, just before the mainland fell, the gold yuan was replaced with the "silver yuan" at a rate of 500 million to one. Finally, once they shifted to Taiwan, the ROC demonetised it's old money. Of course, the Communists never accepted them.​
Thanks, all, for your interest and help!

Continuations by people other than the original author/creator aren't worth getting worked up about.
