How to Identify the Authenticity of 1953 3 Yuan Banknotes

The 1953 three-yuan note is a very rare renminbi in the second set of RMB , and it is the only one in China with a denomination of three yuan. It was issued on March 1, 1955, and was discontinued and circulated on May 15, 1964, and was recycled. At present, there are very few in existence. In 1953, the ternary banknote was light green, with the traditional Chinese characters of ternary printed on the left and right ends of the front of the banknote, and the pattern of the stone bridge at Longyuankou in Jinggangshan in the middle, and the shading was yellow. The pattern on the back is the pattern and the national emblem. There are four representative Chinese, Tibetan, Mongolian and Uyghur characters in the middle, and the words “Three Yuan of the People’s Bank of China” are printed in the middle. In 1953, the top and bottom lace on the front of the three-yuan banknotes and the left and right floral characters on the back were symmetrical, which changed the rigid four-frame design of traditional Chinese banknotes in the past, and adopted the advanced offset embossing technology for the first time. The banknote paper has a solid five-pointed star pattern mixed with watermark, Using double concave printing on the front and back, the pattern is deep, the ink layer is thick, and it has a good anti-counterfeiting function.

In 1953, the version of the three-yuan banknote was designed by my country, but because the printing process was immature at that time, the big brother of the Soviet Union was asked to print it on his behalf, and then it was transported back to China by train for issuance. The use of ternary denomination is based on the Soviet Union’s ruble banknote denomination system at that time.

Later, due to the deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations, in order to prevent the Soviet side from using the printing plate in its hand to print “genuine counterfeit banknotes” and disrupt my country’s financial order, the People’s Bank of China took it back within one month from April 14, 1964. On May 15, 1964, the receipt and circulation were stopped. The circulation time of this banknote was only nine years in total.

How to identify the authenticity of the 1953 three yuan banknotes:

1. Look at the paper, using imported paper, it is difficult to counterfeit old paper.

2. Look at the watermark. The counterfeit currency is usually visible when the watermark is opaque, and the real currency is natural.

3. Look at the details and use a high magnifying glass to see the patterns on the bottom plate.

4. Look at the ink, see the crown number, the national emblem and the words of the People’s Bank of China on the back, all printed in red ink. There should be a slight bump and three-dimensional effect. The counterfeit currency is lithographic printing, and the luster of the ink cannot be seen.

5. Look at the color, the color of the genuine coins is soft, and the overall color of the counterfeit coins will be darker or lighter.

Sixth, look at the printing, the engraving plate is used for printing, there is a sense of unevenness and unevenness, and the engraving plate is very difficult to imitate.
