Item details and appraisal notes

This 1956 Second Series Renminbi Black 1 Yuan note is supported by its year, denomination and stated colour. The first photographs should show the complete front and reverse under matched neutral light, because black colour wording cannot establish grade or a finer type by itself. Numbering and paper evidence need their own views.

Black 1 Yuan in 1956: keep colour evidence tied to the whole design

Visible cueWhat to confirm
SeriesSecond Series Renminbi
Date1956
Printed value1 Yuan
Stated colourBlack; judge the broad colour reading from the complete note under neutral white balance.
LimitColour alone does not establish a watermark, paper type, number-line form or printing variety. Each claim needs direct support from this banknote.

Photograph black ink and aged paper without confusing them

Overall views: Keep the Black 1 Yuan face, 1956 date, denomination and complete border in a straight-on front image. Add the reverse at the same scale before adjusting the camera for smaller details.

Prefix and serial: Show any visible number line in one frame with natural contrast, full alignment and surrounding paper. A weak digit remains open if another light angle does not make it readable.

Colour and condition: Map fading, foxing, water staining, old cleaning, folds, edge damage, tape, backing, pressing and repair separately from printed black areas. Do not deepen contrast to disguise paper change.

Preserve colour, scale and the current surface

Use matched lighting for both sides and include a simple scale without pressing the paper. Avoid washing, bleaching, ironing, flattening or adding tape. Transmitted light is reserved for an observable watermark, thin patch or repair.

Evidence to keep in separate groups

AreaWhat the image establishes
Printed identityThe complete face connects the Black 1 Yuan colour reading with the 1956 date and denomination, supported by the matching reverse.
Number lineAny prefix and serial are shown exactly as present, with character spacing and nearby print. Covered or missing positions are not reconstructed.
Paper historyCondition locators show where stains, folds, thinning or repairs occur. Associated material is photographed separately and cannot replace the physical evidence.

What confirms the 1956 Black 1 Yuan note?

Keep the stated black colour, printed 1 Yuan value and 1956 date together on a complete front image. Add the reverse, full border and all cut edges at matching scale.

Can dark contrast alone establish a subtype?

No. Lighting, ageing, staining and image editing can deepen the apparent tone. Use neutral white balance and require separate evidence for any finer variety or paper claim.

Which condition details should remain visible?

Show fading, folds, foxing, water staining, tape, backing, edge damage and repairs on their correct sides. Do not clean or press the note before examination.
