The 1953 Second Series Renminbi Jinggangshan 3 Yuan note is supported by its series, year, denomination and named subject. Begin with the whole printed front and reverse, keeping the Jinggangshan design beside the 3 Yuan value and date. Do not add a watermark, printing-origin claim or finer variety without observable evidence.

Jinggangshan is a broad subject name, not a substitute for reading the paper. Keep the subject, denomination and date together, then treat numbering, condition and any paper feature as separate evidence from this note.

Photograph the broad identity before examining smaller features

Straight-on views of both faces should include the entire border, every corner and each cut edge. The first front image must connect the Jinggangshan subject with the printed 3 Yuan value and 1953 date; a cropped scene cannot establish the full identity by itself.

Follow with the value area and any prefix or serial actually present. Preserve character spacing, alignment and adjacent paper. If a digit or inscription remains weak after a second light direction, leave the reading open rather than completing it from another note.

Paper condition is separate from attribution

Place folds, tears, pinholes, foxing, water staining, old cleaning, pressing, backing and repairs on the correct side. Use an uncropped locator before each close detail. Transmitted light belongs only to a watermark, thin patch or repair that can genuinely be seen.

Keep the current paper unchanged. Do not wash, bleach, iron, flatten or apply fresh tape. If a sleeve, album leaf, certificate or holder remains connected to the note, image it on its own before housing the banknote away from damp and direct light.

A final sequence before sharing the images

Arrange the photographs as complete front, complete reverse, cut edges, readable number line and condition locators. Keep each close view tied to its position on the whole note. If several banknotes are present, give every item a separate image group so faces and details cannot be exchanged.

Second Series references and nearby denominations

Use the Second Series Renminbi for broader context and the Older Renminbi: First, Second and Third Series Layouts and Inspection for an image-checking method. Compare the Jinggangshan note separately with the 1953 Second Series Renminbi Pagoda Hill 2 Yuan and the 1953 Second Series Renminbi 5 Yuan. None of those notes can supply a missing character, paper feature or condition detail here.
