According to Kann, the Kiau Chau 10 Cents entered circulation in October 1909. Although this issue was met with acceptance, it remained short lived. The German involvement in World War I found the port of Kiau Chau under British and Japanese siege on August 27th, 1914, with the siege ending on November 7th and Kiau Chau remaining under Japanese control until it returned to China in 1922.
