This Fourth Series Renminbi sheet carries a stated value of 1 Yuan and four joined notes. The value and format provide a firm starting point, but the issue year, design details, serial relationship, security evidence and present paper condition still belong to the object itself.

Fourth Series 1 Yuan four-note sheet: inspect the full grid

Inspect the four positions as one paper object

Full front and reverse: Show all four notes, every internal join and the complete outer perimeter on both accessible faces. Where a natural fold obscures part of the reverse, use overlapping views that preserve the sheet's orientation.

Value, date and serials: Photograph the 1 Yuan value where it appears and transcribe a date only if the printing is legible. Where prefixes or serial numbers can be read, keep each one in its exact position before considering any relationship.

Surface and margins: Neutral light should establish colour and print, while a shallow angle can reveal creases, pressing, foxing, pinholes, edge splits or repair. Locate each defect within the four-note arrangement rather than describing it in isolation.

Evidence that needs its own photograph

• Outer edges: Keep the top, bottom and side margins uncropped. A narrow or damaged edge should be shown at scale without comparing it to a different Fourth Series sheet.
• Serial positions: Where numbers remain legible, capture all readable characters and their place in the grid. A repeated prefix does not prove consecutive serials when one position is covered.
• Folder or certificate: If presentation material remains associated, photograph it apart from the banknote and then together. Its caption cannot establish an unreadable date, number or watermark.

Protect the four joins while photographing

Lay the sheet in its current orientation on broad support. Do not force an old bend flat, and do not separate the four notes. Photograph a watermark only when transmitted light actually reveals it without stressing the outer margins.

Where to continue with uncut-sheet care

For category guidance, browse Silver Dollars and First–Fourth Series Renminbi and use Renminbi Uncut Sheets: Layout, Dimensions and Condition Records. The intact 1 Yuan sheet remains the sole source for its printed date, numbers and current condition.
