Item details and appraisal notes

This 1949 First Series Renminbi 1 Yuan note carries the Factory subject. A complete front view should show the industrial building, denomination, date and border before the camera moves to the reverse or smaller inscriptions. The prefix, serial, corners and paper condition then provide a second layer of evidence without changing the note's present surface.

Identification scopeThe date, denomination and subject establish the broad type. A finer variety needs clear inscriptions and die detail on this banknote.

Make the full design readable before taking close-ups

Whole-face evidence: Photograph both sides at equal scale with the entire cut border visible. The Factory scene, 1 Yuan value and 1949 date belong in the same uncropped image. Natural white balance helps keep printed ink separate from paper ageing.

Prefix and small characters: Frame the full prefix and serial together with their surrounding paper. Add the date, value and any faint inscription at a closer scale only after the locator view. Uncertain characters should remain unresolved.

Corners and paper condition: Show folds, foxing, pinholes, missing corners, water staining, pressing, backing, edge splits and repairs where they occur. Raking light can reveal flattened or raised areas. Keep condition comments independent of the subject name.

Photography and storage without new marks

Use a clean non-reflective support, turn the paper as little as possible, and avoid pressure on weak corners. Do not wash, iron, bleach or tape the banknote. Return it to a dry inert sleeve after the full views and close details have been taken.

Three supporting parts of the examination

Number-line completeness: Show every visible digit and its alignment. If a character is hidden by damage or wear, state that limitation and avoid digital reconstruction.

Surface changes: Photograph stains, old cleaning, pressing and repairs under more than one light direction. Use transmitted light only for a watermark, thin area or repair that is actually visible.

Associated material: Keep an album page, sleeve, holder, certificate or family note in separate images. Its wording can be preserved for context but cannot replace the factory vignette or printed value.

Useful First Series Renminbi resources

Begin with the First Series Renminbi for related issues; the First Series Renminbi: Denominations, Designs and Evidence adds a framework for comparing imagery and values. Confirm each point again on the physical paper.

What confirms the 1949 First Series Renminbi Factory 1 Yuan type?

Confirm the broad Factory type in a single uncropped face that includes the 1949 date, 1 Yuan inscription and complete border. Photograph the reverse and surrounding text in the same record.

What serial evidence is useful?

Photograph the complete prefix and number line at natural contrast, including alignment and nearby paper. Leave a missing or faint character open rather than borrowing it from a similar note.

What should remain untouched before examination?

Do not wash, press, bleach, iron or tape the banknote. Show stains, folds, backing and repairs as found, and use transmitted light only when a visible paper feature warrants it.
