Item details and appraisal notes
This 1949 First Series Renminbi 5 Yuan note is identified by its Sailing Ship subject. Show the complete front first, with the vessel, denomination, date and outer border in one view, followed by a matching image of the reverse. Prefix, serial and paper condition should be added without inferring a subtype from another 5 Yuan design.
The printed combination that defines the broad issue
| Element | Direct evidence |
|---|---|
| Series | First Series Renminbi |
| Date printed | 1949 |
| Value | 5 Yuan |
| Named subject | Sailing Ship |
| Comparison rule | Keep the subject, value and date area together. Other 5 Yuan vignettes must be examined as separate notes. |
Photograph the vessel and value before paper details
Front and reverse pairing: Use two square-on images at the same scale, with every corner and cut edge visible. The Sailing Ship scene, 5 Yuan denomination and 1949 date should remain clear in the full front. Add a design close-up only after this context is secured.
Prefix, serial and fine text: Capture the entire number line in natural colour and include enough border to show its location. A second image may clarify typeface or a weak digit, but it should not add strokes that are missing from the paper.
Condition of the sheet: Map creases, foxing, pinholes, water staining, edge tears, trimming, pressing, backing or repair to the proper side. Use low-angle light for texture and neutral light for paper tone. Keep each close view of a defect beside its locator image.
Three questions after the identity photographs
- Material that still accompanies it: Show an album, sleeve, envelope, certificate or grading holder on its own, then beside the banknote. A caption may add storage context but cannot establish variety or condition.
- Paper and ink: Compare both faces and edges for tone, print continuity and visible treatment. Transmitted light is appropriate only where an actual watermark, thin area or repair can be photographed.
- Intervention to avoid: Leave washing, pressing, bleaching, tape and old repairs untouched. New treatment can disturb ink, paper fibres and the boundaries of earlier damage.
Further guidance for First Series banknotes
Related subjects appear in the First Series Renminbi; the First Series Renminbi: Denominations, Designs and Evidence can help structure a comparison. Its examples do not supply a missing number, date or paper feature for this item.
Store the note only after the image set is complete
Handle the banknote over a clean, dry surface, then place it in an inert sleeve away from direct light and moisture. Avoid forcing curled or folded paper flat. Keep any detached label nearby in the same file group, not against the printed face.
