Item details and appraisal notes

The 1949 First Series Renminbi Farmland and Factory 100 Yuan note combines a named scene with a stated value and date. Show that complete printed combination in the first front photograph, then add the reverse at the same scale. Numbering, paper condition and any associated material should be documented afterward without importing features from another 100 Yuan subject.

Farmland and Factory 100 Yuan: establish the combined subject

Identity elementWhat to retain
SeriesFirst Series Renminbi
Date1949
Denomination100 Yuan
Named sceneFarmland and Factory
Evidence limitThe Farmland and Factory 100 Yuan identity requires the visible scene, date and denomination on this banknote.

Keep both parts of the subject in the wider frame

Complete design views: Photograph the Farmland and Factory 100 Yuan front and reverse under matched neutral light with every edge visible. Keep both named parts of the scene beside the 1949 date and value. Add details only after the uncropped identity photographs are complete.

Number line and small print: Capture any prefix and full serial actually present with their spacing and nearby paper. A different light direction may clarify faint ink, but a character must not be copied from another note. Include readable surrounding inscriptions.

Condition of the paper: Locate edge tears, folds, foxing, pinholes, water staining, trimmed areas, backing, pressing, tape and repairs on the correct face. Use a full locator image before each close view and leave the surface untreated.

Avoid adding damage during photography

Place the banknote on a dry, non-reflective support, keep weak edges supported and turn it as little as possible. Washing, ironing, bleaching, pressing or fresh tape can conceal evidence. Use transmitted light only where a watermark, thin area or repair is visibly present, then return the note to an inert sleeve.

Three observations beyond the broad subject

  1. Printed relationship: Confirm that farmland, factory, the 100 Yuan value and 1949 date belong to the same complete face rather than to separate examples.
  2. Paper history: Record stains, old cleaning, backing and repairs under neutral or raking light without attempting to improve their appearance.
  3. Surviving context: Photograph any album, envelope, certificate, label or holder separately and once beside the banknote; its wording cannot establish grade.

Two different First Series subjects

Background reading for the issue

Use the First Series Renminbi for wider context and the First Series Renminbi: Denominations, Designs and Evidence to structure comparisons. The physical 100 Yuan note remains the source for final conclusions.

常見問題點擊展開答案

Which evidence confirms the Farmland and Factory 100 Yuan subject?

Keep the Farmland and Factory 100 Yuan scene together with the 1949 date and value on an uncropped front image. The complete reverse should follow at matching scale.

Why should both parts of the scene stay in frame?

An isolated farmland or factory crop does not establish the combined design. The wider composition prevents details from separate subjects being merged into this note.

How should condition and old storage be documented?

Map damage and repairs on the full affected side, then photograph any album, sleeve, label or certificate separately. Do not clean, flatten or recolour the paper first.
