notes: label: Description
content: This is a 10-dollar bond issued by China in 1938 to support the war against Japan. The Nationalist government of China issued U.S. dollar denominated bonds to finance the war. The government issued various domestic bonds during the eight years of the war to attract investments from the Chinese living overseas. This bond was likely gold backed. The individual coupons are dated and would be clipped by the bond holder to be presented to an office of a bank designated by the bond for payment of a specified amount of interest. After the fall of the Nationalist government of China, the People’s Republic of China did not honor the bonds rendering them worthless.
