Item details and appraisal notes
A 1949 First Series Renminbi Pushcart 20 Yuan note should be identified from the full printed face, not from the cart motif alone. Photograph the subject with the 20 Yuan value, date, inscriptions and outer border, followed by a matching view of the reverse. Any present prefix, serial and paper damage should then be recorded without borrowing evidence from another 20 Yuan design.
Pushcart 20 Yuan: the printed combination to verify
| Element | Direct reading |
|---|---|
| Issue category | First Series Renminbi |
| Date | 1949 |
| Value | 20 Yuan |
| Named motif | Pushcart |
| Comparison limit | The Pushcart 20 Yuan identity requires subject, value and date together. Similar carts or other 20 Yuan notes remain separate. |
Move outward from the design to the paper edges
Complete front and reverse: Use matched square-on images with a narrow margin around every corner. Keep the Pushcart 20 Yuan subject beside the 1949 date and denomination in the uncropped front. A closer design view is useful only when its position remains obvious.
Number line: Capture any prefix and complete serial that can be seen, together with alignment and nearby ink. Try another light angle for a weak digit, not digital reconstruction. Leave a hidden or missing position open.
Paper condition: Locate folds, staining, foxing, pinholes, tears, trimmed edges, pressing, backing or repair on the proper side. Show the whole affected face first, then a detailed image at natural colour and useful scale.
Three evidence groups for a Pushcart note
- Printed information
- Read the date, 20 Yuan inscription, Pushcart subject and surrounding text as one identity group; a related example cannot complete an unclear detail.
- Surface history
- Record water staining, old cleaning, tape and repairs without treatment. Raking light may show texture while neutral light preserves paper tone.
- Material kept nearby
- If a sleeve, album page, holder, label or certificate survives, photograph it separately and once beside the banknote without covering the face.
Handling after the photographs
Support the note on a clean dry surface and avoid forcing any curled edge or old fold flat. Do not wash, iron, bleach, press or tape the paper. Add transmitted light only when a visible watermark, thin patch or repair requires it, then store the item in an inert sleeve.
Two subjects to compare separately
Reading beyond this note
The First Series Renminbi provides wider context, and the First Series Renminbi: Denominations, Designs and Evidence shows how to separate design, value and condition. The physical note remains the source for every final reading.
