Must-Read for Collectors: How to Authenticate the 1953 2 Yuan "Pagoda Mountain" Banknote

As the market for antique banknotes heats up, some high-quality counterfeits have appeared. To protect your rights, we share some practical tips for distinguishing genuine from fake 1953 2 Yuan "Pagoda Mountain" banknotes:

• Examine the watermark against light: This is the most direct authentication method. When held up to light, the solid five-pointed star mixed watermark on a genuine banknote appears three-dimensional with natural transitions; the watermark on counterfeits is often printed on the surface, appearing stiff and lacking depth.
• Feel the raised texture: Thanks to the advanced intaglio printing technology of the Shanghai Banknote Printing Factory at the time, gently touching the "People's Bank of China" text and the main Pagoda Mountain design on the front of a genuine banknote will reveal a very clear raised, tactile feel. Counterfeits typically have a smooth surface.
• Listen to the paper sound: The Second Series Renminbi uses specially made banknote paper, which is firm. When gently shaking the banknote, a genuine one will emit a crisp, clear sound; counterfeits, due to incorrect paper quality, often produce a dull, soft sound.
• Inspect ink and screen patterns: Under a magnifying glass, the lines on a genuine banknote are clear and continuous, with smooth color transitions; counterfeits often show pixelated color dots and blurred or broken lines.
