Item details and appraisal notes
The 1953 Second Series Renminbi Pagoda Hill 2 Yuan note has a named subject as well as a stated date and denomination. Show those three cues together on the complete front, then add the full reverse. A prefix, serial, watermark or finer type should be mentioned only when direct evidence is visible.
Pagoda Hill 2 Yuan: connect the named subject to the printed value
| Visible element | Supported reading |
|---|---|
| Series | Second Series Renminbi |
| Year | 1953 |
| Denomination | 2 Yuan |
| Named subject | Pagoda Hill |
| Attribution boundary | Subject, date and value support the broad Pagoda Hill 2 Yuan identity. They do not by themselves establish a watermark, number-line form or paper variety. |
Photograph the Pagoda Hill design as one composition
Whole-note views: Keep the Pagoda Hill subject, 2 Yuan value, 1953 date and complete border in a straight-on front image. Match it with the reverse at the same scale before taking a closer view.
Printed details and numbering: Add natural-colour images of the value, date and any prefix or serial actually present. Show each feature with nearby print so its position and spacing remain clear.
Condition and accompanying items: Map creases, edge splits, pinholes, foxing, water staining, cleaning, backing, tape, pressing and repair to the affected face. Photograph a surviving album, sleeve, label, certificate or holder separately.
Separate physical observations from a finer attribution
| Observation | What the photograph should show |
|---|---|
| Subject and value | The full front connects Pagoda Hill with the printed 2 Yuan denomination and date, without relying on a detached crop. |
| Paper and print | Neutral light records ink continuity and tone; raking light may show surface disturbance. Transmitted light is used only for an observable watermark, thin area or repair. |
| Current condition | Each fold, stain or repair appears first in a locator image. Leave the paper untreated so fibres, edges and earlier work remain available for examination. |
Stable handling and storage
Use a clean dry surface and avoid forcing old folds or curled corners flat. Do not wash, bleach, iron or tape the note. After photography, place it in an inert sleeve away from direct light, heat and damp.
