This postage meter label reflects the rapid inflation of the Gold Yuan currency in 1949, when the postal administration increasingly relied on franking machines to meet the need for constantly rising high-denomination postage. It also illustrates the gradual introduction and regional deployment of the franking machine system across major postal districts. Hankow, as a postal hub in Central China, provides a representative example of regional postal operations, and this item serves as a tangible reference for the study of postage meter usage and the evolution of postal rates during the late Gold Yuan period.
