Item details and appraisal notes
This 1953 Second Series Renminbi Aircraft 2 Fen note should first be shown as a complete banknote. Photograph the front with the aircraft subject, 2 Fen denomination, date and full border visible, then add the reverse at matching scale. Any prefix, serial, paper feature or condition point should be recorded only when it can actually be seen.
Aircraft 2 Fen: establish the broad printed design
| Identity point | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Series | Second Series Renminbi |
| Date | 1953 |
| Printed value | 2 Fen |
| Named subject | Aircraft |
| Evidence boundary | The Aircraft 2 Fen identity rests on the visible subject, date and denomination. A finer variety requires readable details on this note. |
Photograph the whole design before small features
Complete faces: Use square-on front and reverse images at the same scale with every corner and cut edge inside the frame. Keep the Aircraft 2 Fen subject beside the 1953 date and printed value under neutral light. A close crop should retain enough surrounding design to show where it belongs.
Numbering and inscriptions: If numbering is visible, keep its prefix, every serial character, alignment and surrounding paper in a single colour-accurate frame. Another light direction may clarify weak ink, but it must not add a stroke. Leave a covered or unreadable position unresolved.
Condition on the correct side: Locate trimmed edges, tears, folds, foxing, pinholes, water staining, backing, tape, pressing and repairs on the affected face. Photograph that complete side before making a close detail. Neutral and raking light can document tone and texture without treatment.
Three supporting checks for the physical note
- Printed evidence
- Read the date, 2 Fen value, Aircraft subject and surrounding inscriptions together; another small-denomination note cannot complete an unclear feature.
- Associated material
- Photograph a sleeve, album page, holder, label or certificate separately if one still accompanies the banknote. Its wording adds context but does not establish variety.
- Paper feature
- Reserve a transmitted-light image for an observable watermark, thin area or repair, and include enough border to locate it.
Safe handling and temporary storage
Use a clean, dry support and turn the paper once for the reverse view. Avoid washing, ironing, bleaching, flattening and new adhesive tape. Keep water staining in the neutral-light condition record, then return the note to an inert sleeve away from direct light and damp.
Two different denominations for separate comparison
Second Series references for context

Questions before an appraisal
What should you check before selling?
What matters depends on the item. Photograph both sides, the edge, hallmarks or base marks, and any damage. Include the original box, certificate or weight information where relevant so we can decide whether an in-person inspection is needed.
