Many collectors, when looking for the 1956 5 Yuan RMB buyback price, often overlook the decisive impact of the version on its value.

Professional Anti-Counterfeiting: Advanced Techniques for Identifying Authentic Second Series Renminbi Yellow 5 Yuan

With the booming high-price buyback market for old banknotes, some repaired banknotes or fakes have appeared. In addition to basic watermark identification, Gujin Jianbao has compiled the following three professional tips for identifying authentic Second Series Renminbi Yellow 5 Yuan for you:

Paper feel and material test: Genuine Yellow 5 Yuan (especially the Seagull version) uses banknote paper with special anti-counterfeiting fibers. After decades, the paper still retains a unique flexibility and thickness. Fake banknotes often have brittle or excessively smooth paper.
Engraved intaglio printing technology: The Second Series of Renminbi adopted exquisite double-sided intaglio printing technology. Gently touch the "People's Bank of China" text, denomination numbers, and portrait on the front of the banknote with your finger. Genuine banknotes will have a very obvious tactile impression, which cannot be imitated by modern ordinary printing technology.
Underprint and ink details: Under magnification, the lines of the underprint on genuine banknotes are clear and continuous, without blurry dots; and the red serial numbers of early machine coding will have slight and natural ink squeezing marks (slight ink overflow) on the edges, giving them a strong three-dimensional effect.
