The 100-yuan banknote in the Fourth Series of Renminbi (professionally referred to as the "Fourth Series 100-yuan note") is a milestone in the history of Chinese banknote issuance. Its obverse side features, for the first and only time, relief portraits of four great leaders: Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, and Zhu De. The reverse side depicts the main peak of Jinggangshan, a revolutionary holy site. The design is rich in historical significance and artistic tension.

As the Fourth Series of Renminbi officially withdraws from circulation, the historical artifact status of this Fourth Series Renminbi 100-yuan note featuring four great leaders is becoming increasingly prominent. Many collectors in Hong Kong and overseas are seeking professional channels for high-price acquisition of old Renminbi in Hong Kong, considering it an important choice for asset allocation and cultural heritage. Its market scarcity has not only driven the overall rise in Chinese banknote collection prices but has also made it a hot topic in the numismatic auction market.

Core Analysis: Distinguishing Between the 1980 and 1990 Versions of the 100-yuan Renminbi (80100 vs 90100)

The Fourth Series 100-yuan banknote is divided into the 1980 version (referred to as 80100) and the 1990 version (referred to as 90100). Although their designs are similar, there are significant differences in their issuance background, anti-counterfeiting technology, and Fourth Series Renminbi 100-yuan buyback prices. Understanding these differences is key to grasping the value of old banknote Buyback.

Comparison Aspect	1980 Version 100 Yuan (80100)	1990 Version 100 Yuan (90100)
Issuance Date	May 10, 1988	August 20, 1992
Number of Issuance Prefixes	Only 16 prefixes (extremely rare)	204 prefixes (relatively large quantity)
Metallic Security Thread	No security thread	Added a metallic security thread on the left side
Fluorescent Anti-Counterfeiting Technology	No fluorescent ink	Under UV light, the hidden denomination "100" and Pinyin "YIBAI" appear on the front left side
Font Color Difference	The "1980" year numeral is relatively thin, with an overall slightly deeper blue-black tone.	The "1990" year numeral is thicker, with a slightly glossy tone under light.
Circulation Quantity and Appreciation Potential	Early consumption was huge, making it extremely rare in circulation. It is known as one of the "Four Kings of the Fourth Series," with high demand for authenticating 80-version 100-yuan banknotes and significant appreciation potential.	Relatively more in circulation, but as a retired banknote, the 1990 100-yuan Renminbi still has stable appreciation potential, suitable for mass investment and bundled collection.

Essential for Collectors: How to Authenticate Fourth Series 100-Yuan Banknotes Initially?

To protect your interests and avoid encountering counterfeits during the old banknoteBuyback process, Gu Jin Jian Bao provides you with several simple and practical authentication tips:

Feel the Intaglio Printing: Genuine banknotes feature the portraits of the four great leaders, the inscription "People's Bank of China," Braille, and the Jinggangshan landscape on the reverse, all produced using sophisticated intaglio printing technology. Lightly touch them with your finger, and you will feel a distinct raised, textured sensation; counterfeit notes are usually offset printed and feel smooth.
Observe the Fixed Watermark: Hold the banknote up to the light and examine the blank area on the left. A genuine banknote will clearly show a strong three-dimensional watermark of Mao Zedong's profile, with distinct layers; the watermark on counterfeit notes is often printed on the surface, visible even when lying flat, and lacks a three-dimensional effect.
Examine Anti-Counterfeiting Features (for 90-version): If you have a 1990-version 100-yuan note, prepare a UV lamp (currency detector). Under ultraviolet light, the genuine banknote will reveal a bright, colorless fluorescent ink "100" numeral on the lower left front; simultaneously, inspect the metallic security thread on the left side by holding it up to the light. On genuine banknotes, the security thread is embedded within the paper, whereas some poor-quality counterfeits have the fake thread directly printed or pasted onto the surface.
Listen to the Sound of the Paper: The Fourth Series of Renminbi uses specially made banknote paper (primarily composed of cotton and hemp). Gently flick or shake a genuine banknote, and it will emit a crisp, clear, metallic "snap" sound; counterfeit notes often use ordinary wood pulp paper, producing a dull, soft sound.

Note: Special serial numbers (such as replacement notes), consecutive notes (such as bundles of 100, full bundles), interesting numbers (such as "leopard numbers," "lion numbers"), and rare "ultimate uncut sheets" have more complex evaluation systems and often yield unexpectedly high returns. It is recommended to have them deeply inspected and appraised by a professional appraisal team.
