Last time I shared an article about the two-dollar note auctioned more than a hundred W, I believe it subverted many people, a two-yuan banknote auctioned 1.6 million, I heard that only three remain? Why can it be auctioned so high, how can the unrepeatable coins flow into the society from the bank, the specific reasons we don't know, but the few banknotes shared today are estimated to open everyone's eyes;
Hand-drawn design of banknotes! What is a banknote manuscript? At first glance, the banknote pattern is brightly colored and lifelike, the shading as fine as a hair is clearly recognizable, and there is not much difference between it and the real banknote, and the size and size are exactly the same as the general banknotes, but the paper is much thicker than the general banknote printing paper. Their true "identity" is a product of the banknote production process – a hand-drawn design of the banknote.
The above set of hand-drawn PMG certifications of the 1972-1973 Chinese Min Min Bank's unissued banknotes have no scores, and the denominations include 1 dime, 2 corners, 5 corners and 1 yuan, 2 yuan, 5 yuan and 10 yuan; the whole set of designs has many similarities with the third set of renminbi through color and flow; it is said that the five-pointed design in this set of banknotes is the only design scheme adopted by Premier Zhou Enlai, which appropriately represents Chairman Mao Zedong's statement that "women can hold up half the sky" and the importance of women in new Chinese socialism. This set was sold in SPINK's January 2020 Hong Kong-China currency banknotes for HK$2,160,000, now equivalent to about RMB1.76 million;

The banknote we use, looks like a piece of paper, but this banknote is determined after how many times to choose; generally speaking, the printing of banknotes, including the study of design schemes, drawing design drafts, plate making, printing, finishing and other professional and complex processes, at that time in the absence of modern equipment, the design of banknotes are generally using artists hand-drawn or photographic clippings, etc., combined with a variety of artistic techniques to complete, with extremely high requirements and difficulty.
From 1970 to 1971 Chinese Minboku Bank's "Preparation for War" series of unissued banknotes in a group of hand-drawn designs, including 6 designs, one on the front of the corner, two on the back, one on the front of the five corners, one on the front of the circle, one on the front of the Wu yuan, and one on the back of the round; the content of the coin is mostly a combination of military personnel and combat weapons;
The design concept of this group of war readiness tickets originated from the Sino-Soviet border conflict in 1969, the war was about to break out, and the central government was worried that the enemy would take advantage of the opportunity to disrupt the national economy and asked the People's Bank of China to make preparations. This set of hand-drawn design notes from the "Ready for War" series was auctioned in Hong Kong in 2020 for HK$1,440,000;
The original hand-drawn manuscript is only used in the early days of paper money to the new China period of the first, second, third and fourth sets of currencies, and now the fifth set of renminbi used by people, including various coins and coupons in the late nineties, is designed by the computer, and no longer uses hand-drawn design, so the only sample tickets of the original manuscript of the hand-drawn design have hardly appeared, and perhaps the relevant departments have been deposited in the archives, and may also be abandoned and destroyed due to the state's declaration of invalidation, and a small part of it has flowed into the folk collection.
The above hand-drawn 1972 Chinese Bank 10 yuan front and back, without adopting the design, number III V III 0000000, PMG envelope, the only remaining pair in the world, auctioned in Hong Kong in May this year, the transaction price: 480,000 Hong Kong dollars;
The above is the paper money being auctioned at Hangzhou Yihe Auction on December 18, 2021, and there are follow-up auction results, which are shared with everyone in the comment area; as for how the hand-drawn design paper money flows into the private collection, if you have a better answer, welcome to comment!
