Item details and appraisal notes

This 1949 First Series Renminbi Beihai Bridge 100 Yuan note should be identified from its full bridge design, denomination and date. Photograph the complete front and reverse before considering colour, numbering or paper condition. Another Beihai Bridge note, including the Yellow version, cannot provide an unseen subtype feature for this banknote.

Beihai Bridge 100 Yuan: confirm the complete bridge design

Identity elementDirect evidence
SeriesFirst Series Renminbi
Date shown1949
Printed value100 Yuan
Named subjectBeihai Bridge
Subtype limitThe Beihai Bridge 100 Yuan identity uses subject, value and date; colour or another bridge example cannot settle a finer type.

Record the bridge, number line and paper in stages

Whole-note photographs: Keep the Beihai Bridge 100 Yuan front and reverse at equal scale with all edges visible. The 1949 date and denomination should stay beside the bridge subject in the uncropped front. Use neutral light so ageing or staining is not mistaken for a printed colour difference.

Any prefix and serial: Capture the entire visible number line with its alignment and surrounding paper. Add a closer view only for a weak position, preserving natural contrast. Do not complete an unreadable character from a similar bridge note.

Condition and edge changes: Show folds, foxing, pinholes, water staining, tears, trimming, pressing, backing, tape and repairs first on the full affected side. Raking light may reveal texture, while neutral light preserves paper tone and print colour.

Three checks before naming a bridge subtype

  • Subject and value: The Beihai Bridge 100 Yuan design, date and denomination must agree on this complete printed face before subtype comparison begins.
  • Colour and treatment: Record colour under neutral light and keep staining, washing, pressing or repair separate from design evidence throughout the examination.
  • Paper features: Use transmitted light only when a watermark, thin area or repair is actually visible, and locate it within the full border.

Further reading without substituting evidence

The First Series Renminbi gives broader issue context, and the First Series Renminbi: Denominations, Designs and Evidence explains how to compare design and condition. Neither resource supplies an unseen subtype detail.

Preserve the banknote after photography

Work on a clean dry support, move the paper sparingly and do not wash, iron, bleach, press or tape it. Photograph any album, sleeve, label, certificate or holder separately if it survives. Return the note to an inert sleeve away from damp and direct light.

Two bridge examples to keep distinct

Send the uncropped bridge design and paper details through the About Gu Jin Jian Bao | Collection Enquiries; add one close image via WhatsApp at +852 9834 2057, or phone +852 9834 2057. State which subtype feature is uncertain and whether associated material remains with the note.

常見問題點擊展開答案

What confirms the 1949 Beihai Bridge 100 Yuan note?

A complete front should connect the Beihai Bridge 100 Yuan design with the printed date and denomination. Add the reverse and all edges before comparing another bridge example.

Can the Yellow Beihai Bridge example settle the subtype?

No. Colour and subtype details must be visible on this banknote under neutral light. A separate Yellow example cannot supply missing print or paper evidence.

Which defects need a locator image?

Show folds, foxing, pinholes, water staining, tears, trimming and repairs first on the full affected side. Add close views without cleaning or pressing the paper.
