Transcription Notes:
Needs review for the date 中華民國七年四月告日 [[Reverse Image]] "中華民國七年四月" may refer to the seventh year after the creation of the Republic of China on the fourth month, which should be around 04/1918. The last two characters on the date may be "吉日", not "告日" since it has a 土 on top and a 口 on the bottom. If so, then the last two characters can be translated literally as "Lucky Day". Further research into its specific date may be impossible since "吉日" is used on the Chinese Lucky Calendar 黃曆 (黄历), and there are multiple days that are considered lucky days on that calendar, so pinpointing a specific day this banknote was created may be near impossible.
