Bank of Taiwan, Kinmen Issue, 5 yuan, Year 38 (1949), serial number AA229411, 'hollowed Kinmen' type,
(Pick R102B), PMG 15, rust. Due to regional instability, a new act was in placed in 1949 to add the 'Kinmen overprint' on existing notes. At the end, due to the large influx of military personnel in Kinmen, the lack of leftover funds has halted the transportation of these notes, and they were subsequently destroyed. One of the scarcest issue from Taiwan along with its 1 yuan counterpart. As of 2022, less than 30 examples are known. One of the scarcest Taiwan issues out there.



民國三十八年台灣銀行伍圓，金門地名，編號AA229411，空心金門版，PMG 15，有銹，由於當年政局不穩，1949年政府實施新措施，於現有鈔票上加蓋「金門」。 後來大量軍人進入金門，在資金短缺的情況下無法繼續運輸鈔票，隨後更被銷毀。本品與同系列之壹圓同為台灣紙鈔中最珍罕版別之一。直至2022年為止，存世記錄不足30枚，台灣紙鈔經典罕版
