Chinese Gold Bar Cipher

In 1933, seven gold bars were allegedly issued to a Chinese general in Shanghai. The gold bars appear to represent metal certificates related to a bank deposit with a U.S. Bank. The gold bars themselves have pictures, Chinese writing, some form of script writing, and cryptograms in Latin letters. It may help to resolve the dispute if someone can decipher the cryptograms on the bars. Nobody has yet put for the a theory as to their meaning. The Chinese writing has been translated, and discusses a transaction in excess of $300,000,000. There is some dispute over whether or not these gold bars are actually valid or not. Regardless, nobody has been able to completely decipher their meaning.
