About this item This 1953 1 Yuan banknote is a premier example of the People's Republic of China's Second Series Renminbi. The "Red 1 Yuan" is highly sought after by collectors for its iconic design, featuring the Tiananmen gate in Beijing on the obverse and the national emblem on the reverse. The reverse also includes the denomination printed in four languages: Chinese, Uyghur, Tibetan, and Mongolian, reflecting the diverse culture of the PRC. As a central piece of Chinese numismatic history, this note was part of the currency reform that replaced the First Series and helped stabilise the national economy in the mid-1950s. Condition: The note is in Uncirculated (UNC) condition. It remains crisp and firm with sharp corners and no signs of folding, creasing, or circulation wear. The red ink remains vibrant and clear, and the paper retains its original sheen and texture as issued by the People's Bank of China.
