Identification note: Exact ROC year in bottom panel is hard to read; subtype and Pick number not confirmed; dimensions not measured; printer attribution inferred from small margin text; value sensitive to exact subtype and condition. | Design matches the Central Bank of China Sun Yat‑sen left‑portrait 100 yuan printed by Central Engraving & Printing Works (Shanghai): blue on light green, ornate central value panel, red serial with two‑letter prefix, red chops, and a small ROC date panel at the bottom. Reverse described as large 壹百圓 flanked by 100 numerals with vertical Chinese signature panels also fits this 1930s–early 1940s CEPW type. Exact Pick suffix (date/signature subtype) cannot be confirmed because the ROC year in the bottom panel is unreadable and dimensions/watermark were not verified; closely related later reworks (e.g., P‑247) are possible if the imprint/date differs.
