Item details and appraisal notes

The 1949 First Series Renminbi Wanshou Hill 100 Yuan note must be distinguished from the 20 Yuan notes named Version A and Version B. Begin with a full front photograph showing the Wanshou Hill subject, 100 Yuan value, date and complete border, then add the reverse at matching scale. Any visible number line and paper condition should follow without borrowing version details from the lower denominations.

Wanshou Hill 100 Yuan: value distinguishes the note

Identity pointWhat to confirm
SeriesFirst Series Renminbi
Year shown1949
Printed denomination100 Yuan
Named subjectWanshou Hill
Separation boundaryThe Wanshou Hill 100 Yuan identity requires the visible 100 Yuan value and date; A or B evidence from 20 Yuan notes does not apply.

Keep the subject and value in one complete view

Both faces: Photograph the Wanshou Hill 100 Yuan front and reverse under even neutral light with every edge inside the frame. Keep the 1949 date and denomination near the named subject in the wider image. Add close details only after this context is secured.

Numbering and smaller text: Record any prefix and full serial actually visible with their alignment and surrounding paper. Try another light direction for weak printing while leaving its shape unchanged. A missing or covered character should not be inferred from another Wanshou Hill note.

Condition and paper surface: Locate trimmed edges, tears, folds, foxing, pinholes, water staining, backing, pressing and repairs on the appropriate face. Pair each detail with a full locator image. Neutral and raking light may document colour and texture without treatment.

Three checks that follow broad identification

Printed value
The 100 Yuan inscription remains visible with the Wanshou Hill subject and 1949 date, preventing confusion with the 20 Yuan versions.
Paper evidence
Transmitted light is used only for a watermark, thin area or repair that can actually be seen; water staining remains condition evidence.
Accompanying material
A surviving album page, sleeve, certificate, label or holder is photographed separately and cannot establish variety for this note on its own.

Preserve the current paper state

Support the banknote on a clean, dry surface and avoid forcing old folds or curled edges flat. Avoid washing, ironing, bleaching, pressure and new adhesive tape. Leave repairs visible, then place the paper in an inert sleeve away from direct light, heat and moisture after photography.

Reading and comparison resources

Browse the First Series Renminbi for issue context and consult the First Series Renminbi: Denominations, Designs and Evidence for a method. Recheck the physical 100 Yuan printing before reaching a conclusion.

How is the 1949 Wanshou Hill 100 Yuan note separated from the 20 Yuan versions?

The Wanshou Hill 100 Yuan face must show its printed 100 Yuan denomination with the date and subject. A or B details from 20 Yuan notes cannot determine this note.

What numbering should appear in the photographs?

Include any prefix and complete serial actually visible with their alignment and nearby paper. Leave a worn or covered position open rather than reconstructing it.

What should happen before temporary storage?

Take both full faces, edges and condition details without washing or pressing the note. Place it in a dry inert sleeve away from heat and direct light afterward.
