Item details and appraisal notes

This 1949 First Series Renminbi Fertilising 20 Yuan note is identified by its named subject, denomination and date. Start with complete front-and-reverse photographs that retain the full border, then add any visible numbering and paper details in a separate sequence. Do not use another agricultural design to infer missing text, a watermark or condition grade.

Fertilising 20 Yuan: the broad printed identity

Named designFertilising
Initial limitThe Fertilising 20 Yuan subject, date and value support broad identification; finer attribution depends on this note's readable details.

Photograph the subject before condition close-ups

Complete design: Keep both faces level and at matching scale, with all corners and edges inside the frame. The Fertilising 20 Yuan scene should remain beside the 1949 date and printed denomination. A detail crop must retain enough surrounding imagery to be located.

Prefix, serial and inscriptions: Record any prefix and whole serial that are actually present, including spacing and nearby paper tone. Use natural contrast and a second light direction for faint printing. Do not complete a character from another 20 Yuan note.

Condition map: Show creases, foxing, pinholes, water staining, tears, trimming, pressing, backing, tape and repairs first on the affected face. Follow with close photographs that preserve colour and scale. Leave all earlier work untouched.

Three physical questions to record separately

Identity and design: Read the Fertilising 20 Yuan subject together with the date, denomination and reverse; avoid treating an isolated agricultural vignette as proof.

Paper and light: Use neutral light for paper tone and raking light for texture. Add transmitted light only when a watermark, thin area or repair is visibly present.

Associated material: Keep a surviving sleeve, album page, family note, grading holder or certificate in separate images, then once beside the banknote for context.

Temporary storage without new intervention

Place the paper on a clean dry support, move it sparingly and avoid pressure on weak corners. Washing, ironing, bleaching, pressing or fresh tape can obscure evidence. Return the note to an inert sleeve after the full views and close details are complete.

Which features identify the 1949 Fertilising 20 Yuan note?

An uncropped front should show the Fertilising 20 Yuan subject, printed value and date in one composition. Pair it with the reverse and full border before considering a narrower variety.

How should prefix and serial evidence be handled?

Photograph the complete visible number line with its alignment and surrounding paper. Use natural contrast and do not copy a weak character from another 20 Yuan design.

What belongs in the condition record?

Show creases, foxing, water staining, tears, trimming, pressing, backing and repairs on the correct face. Keep any surviving holder or certificate in separate photographs.
