Picture shows a military bond issued by the Tongmenghui. In order to raise funds for the uprisings, the Tongmenghui printed 10 000 military bonds at the denomination of $100 in French Indo-China (present-day Vietnam) in 1906. The face of the bond was printed in English and the reverse side in French. The proceeds of the bond sales were used to support the uprising in Chaozhou in early 1907 and the Zhennanguan uprising later that year. This exhibit is provided by Dr Otto Lam. |
