✨ Included Banknotes
💠1 Jiao 1980 P-881 XF/UNC
This tiny 0.10 ¥ note showcases two figures in traditional ethnic attire,a Gaoshan and a Manchu man, a striking example of how Chinese banknote design celebrated diversity within its borders. The reverse features the national emblem and denomination printed in multiple scripts including Mongolian, Tibetan, Uyghur, and Zhuang, a fascinating multilingual touch that reflects China’s many cultural identities.
💠2 Jiao 1980 P-882 VF
At 0.20 ¥, this note depicts two women dressed in the traditional garb of the Bouyei and Chaoxian peoples. Like its Jiao siblings, the reverse displays the national emblem framed by multiple ethnic scripts. Its larger size and unique imagery make it a standout piece in any collection.
💠5 Jiao 1980 P-883 UNC
The half-Yuan note (0.50 ¥) is both visually and historically appealing. Two young women from the Miao and Zhuang ethnic groups grace the obverse, while the reverse continues the theme of cultural unity with multilingual denomination details. Slightly larger, this note offers striking contrast in design and feel within the bundle.
📜 Interesting Facts About the Series
- Ethnic Representation: The Fourth Series notes (including these three Jiao denominations) deliberately depict ethnic minorities in traditional dress instead of political leaders, a notable departure from later series dominated by Mao Zedong’s portrait.
- Multilingual Scripts: On the reverse of each note, “People’s Bank of China” and the denomination appear in multiple languages (Chinese, Mongolian/Manchu, Old Uyghur, Tibetan, and Zhuang), making them visually and culturally rich.
- Withdrawn from Circulation: These notes were officially demonetized on 30 April 2019, adding historical interest as examples of China’s cash currency before digital and coin replacements became widespread.
- Collector Appeal: While modest in face value, these banknotes are prized for their artistic design, cultural significance, and status as representatives of China’s earlier monetary history.

CONDITION GUIDE
Gem Uncirculated
A note that is flawless, with the same freshness, crispness and bright color as when first printed. It
must be perfectly centered, with full margins, and free of any marks, blemishes or traces of handling.
About Uncirculated
A bright, crisp note that appears new but upon close examination shows a trace of very light use, such as a corner fold or faint crease. 'About Uncirculated' is a borderline condition, applied to a note which may not be quite uncirculated, but yet is obviously better than an average Extra Fine note. Such notes command a price only slightly below a new note and are highly desirable.
Extra Fine
A note that shows some faint evidence of circulation, although it will still be bright and retain nearly full crispness. It may have two or three minor folds or creases but no tears or stains and no discolorations.
Very Fine
A note that has been in circulation, but not actively or for long. It still retains some crispness and is still choice enough in its condition to be altogether desirable. It may show folds or creases, or some light smudges from the hands of a past generation. Sometimes, Very Fine notes are the best available in certain rare issues, and they should accordingly be cherished just as much as uncirculated notes.
Fine
A fine note shows evidence of much more circulation, has lost its crispness and very fine detail, and creases are more pronounced, although the note is still not seriously soiled or stained.
