Item details and appraisal notes
A 1949 First Series Renminbi Red Factory 100 Yuan note should be checked from the complete printed face, with the factory subject, value, date and border shown together. The stated “Red” colour alone is not enough to identify a subtype. Photograph the reverse, any visible numbering and paper condition in separate steps under neutral light.
Red Factory 100 Yuan: design evidence before colour judgement
| Identity feature | Visible reading |
|---|---|
| Issue series | First Series Renminbi |
| Date | 1949 |
| Value | 100 Yuan |
| Named design | Red Factory |
| Colour boundary | The Red Factory 100 Yuan identity needs subject, value and date together. Saturation or staining cannot establish variety or grade. |
Photograph the factory design and paper separately
Complete front and back: Use matched square-on images with every corner and cut edge visible. Keep the Red Factory 100 Yuan subject beside the 1949 date and denomination in the full front. Preserve neutral white balance before making any close view of colour or print.
Prefix, serial and inscriptions: Show any prefix and whole serial that are present, including spacing and nearby ink. A second light angle may help with a faint position, but digital enhancement must not add a stroke. Include readable text around the number line.
Surface and previous work: Map creases, foxing, pinholes, water staining, edge loss, trimming, pressing, backing, tape and repair to the appropriate side. Compare neutral and raking light without washing or flattening the paper. Each enlarged defect needs a complete locator view.
Keep light, scale and colour consistent
Place the note on a dry non-reflective support and use the same neutral lighting for both faces. Avoid filters, boosted red saturation and aggressive sharpening. Keep washing, ironing, bleach, pressure and replacement tape out of the process. Use transmitted light only when a visible watermark, thin area or repair requires it.
Three observations about present condition
| Observation | How to show it |
|---|---|
| Printed colour | The Red Factory 100 Yuan face is photographed with neutral white balance, while ageing and stains are identified separately. |
| Completeness | All corners and cut edges remain visible, with missing paper or trimming located on the full face. |
| Supporting material | Any sleeve, album, label, certificate or holder is photographed apart from the printed paper and linked only by documented context. |
