Help identify/translate Chinese ration coupons [solved]

6 posts • viewed 324 times
I was given a whole bunch of these, and found most already in the exonumia catalogue.
But I can't find theses 24, and I can't add them because I don't read the language.

Could anyone translate at least the titles so they can be added?

I know it's a lot to ask, but I've no one else to ask.

Check here: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/chine-exonumia-14.html#t_chineforeign_exchange_certificate

There's also a picture search, so you could try that:
These ones are not already in the catalogue, but they need translating, before they can be added...
I tried using google to translate the photos but the results were not helpful.

For example, A, translated as:

Obv:
Bayannur League special food stamps for the work category
GC Food Bureau - Heavy
Grain Bureau of the Revolutionary Committee of the Ba league

Rev:
Flag county and city grain stations and unit canteens are effective.
The two food stamps are not circulated in the market.

So I was hoping someone here could actually read Chinese, because I do not. 0:)
