How to Simply Authenticate the 1953 1 Jiao?

As thecollection value of the Second Series Renminbi Yellow 1 Jiaoincreases, some counterfeits have appeared on the market. To protect your rights, you can make an initial identification through the following professional aspects:

  1. Tactile Intaglio Feel: Genuine banknotes used advanced intaglio printing technology at the time. Gently touch the main design of the tractor, the denomination numbers on the front, and the national emblem on the back with your finger; you will feel a distinct raised, textured sensation. Most counterfeits use flat offset printing, which feels smooth.
  2. Observe Watermark Characteristics: Hold the blank area of the banknote up to the light, and a clear, natural"hollow five-pointed star"watermark will appear on genuine notes. The watermark on counterfeit notes is often printed on the surface, lacking three-dimensionality and transitional layers.
  3. Paper Sound and Texture: Genuine old banknotes are made from special security paper. After years of aging, they still produce a crisp sound when shaken (even if worn), while counterfeit paper is usually softer or too stiff.
