Features: The history of Chinese banknotes dates back to the second year of the Tiansheng era (1024 AD) during the Song Dynasty, with a history of over 970 years. China is the earliest country in the world to use paper money. Before the Qing Dynasty, there were few existing varieties of banknotes, and physical specimens are rare. This book primarily introduces some basic knowledge of collecting banknotes, serving as a supplement and extension to manuals and reference books. If you have already entered the field of banknote collecting and already possess the reference books we have compiled, such as Illustrated Catalog of Old Banknotes of the People's Bank of China, Illustrated Catalog of Banknotes of Provincial Banks in China, Illustrated Catalog of Banknotes of Commercial Banks in China, and Illustrated Catalog of Chinese Currency, then this book is also worth reading. The former tells you how many types of banknotes were issued by each bank and their rarity, teaching you how to collect them. Then this book will guide you on how to classify, research, identify, appraise, and preserve your collections.
