Twenty Yuan currency used by employees at the B.C. Hop Company, many of whom endeavored to send money to family in China.
During World War I (c. 1914) there were around 120 Chinese men working for the B.C. Hops Company in Sardis (where Cottonwood Mall stands today).
The currency was issued by the Central Bank of China.
