Item details and appraisal notes

A 1949 First Series Renminbi 5 Yuan note with the Ox Cart subject should be read from its complete printed face. Keep the named scene beside the denomination, date and full border, then photograph the reverse at the same scale. Numbering and paper condition belong in later images so they do not interrupt the first identification view.

Design nameOx Cart
Identification boundaryConfirm the printed combination from both sides. Another 5 Yuan subject cannot supply a missing character or determine the grade of this note.

Build the image sequence around the complete note

Full faces first: Photograph the front and reverse square to the camera, with every corner and cut edge visible. The Ox Cart vignette, 5 Yuan value and 1949 date should remain together in the uncropped front. A local design view should follow, not replace, this image.

Numbering and small print: Keep the whole prefix and serial line in one natural-colour photograph. Add the date, value and any faint inscription with enough adjacent paper to show location. Leave a doubtful digit open when the print does not resolve it.

Condition over both sides: Map folds, foxing, pinholes, water staining, edge splits, missing corners, pressing, backing and repairs to the correct face. Use raking light where texture is visible. Pair every close detail with the complete side.

Preserve the note while photographing it

Handle the paper over a clean dry support and avoid forcing old folds or curled edges flat. Washing, bleaching, heat, pressure and tape can remove or add condition evidence. Store the banknote in an inert sleeve after the required views are complete.

常見問題點擊展開答案

How is the 1949 First Series Renminbi Ox Cart 5 Yuan note identified?

A complete front image should show the 1949 date and 5 Yuan value beside the Ox Cart subject. The reverse, border and nearby inscriptions should support the same broad type.

Which close photographs should follow the full faces?

Add the prefix, complete serial, denomination, date characters, four corners and any damaged edge. Keep enough surrounding print in every view to locate the detail.

Should a curled or stained note be flattened or cleaned?

No. Support the paper in its existing shape, show water staining and folds under neutral or raking light, and leave washing, pressing, bleach and tape out of the process.
