As we said last time, in 1999, Chinese Bank issued a fifth set of renminbi, with a total of six denominations, namely: 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 20 yuan, 50 yuan, and 100 yuan. In the third issue, Xiaobian told you the story of one yuan and saw the support of Tibetan friends. In this issue, we continue to talk to you about the size of one of the large and small leaf orchids in one of the denomination one-dollar notes.
In the third issue, we have talked about the fifth set of 1 yuan with 99 editions and 19 editions, which is a relatively special RMB, and the 99th edition of the one-dollar version is also called "991" by collectors. Among them, due to the particularity of "Big Leaf Orchid", it only accounts for about 5% of the total issuance of 99 editions of 1 yuan banknotes!
Because the big leaf orchid can be clearly identified by the naked eye, this belongs to the currency of "one glance clear", and has been recognized as an independent currency in the fifth set of renminbi, becoming the full set of five versions of the coin and the 1999 version of the big set of coins. (First of all, let's talk about the concept of coin ribs, which are a series of coins or a set of coins, or even the rarest coin or set of coins in all coins.) ）
▲The left is "small leaf orchid", and the right is "large leaf orchid"
Xiaobian will then introduce in detail to you the difference between these two kinds of watermarks:
1. The paper material is different:
The material used by the big leaf orchid is the banknote paper imported from the United States, which is more distinctive. It is said that all the fifth set of RMB 1 bills was printed using 6 different kinds of paper, including Italian, Russian and Developed by China itself. However, the printing of the large leaf orchid only uses a kind of banknote paper imported from the United States. This means that the color of the big leaf orchid one-dollar note is different from other one-dollar notes.
2. The watermark is different
Large leaf orchid is a three-dimensional sense of fixed letterpress orchid watermark, the main features are clear outline, vivid image, petal leaves are relatively wide and short, the pattern of lace performance is thick and fat, mainly with flower veins, the overall look is full. In contrast, the lace of the small leaf orchid is not as thick as that of the large leaf orchid, and there is no flower vein.
3. Fluorescence is different
Small leaf orchids are more sparse, while large leaf orchids are more densely fluorescent.
This can be easily distinguished under fluorescent lamps.
▲ "Leaf orchid" fluorescence, relatively sparse
▲ "Large leaf orchid" fluorescence, relatively dense
Few surviving
The 99th edition of the 1 yuan banknote issued a total of more than 600 kinds of crown numbers, but the existence of the large leaf orchid is not much, plus some people do not know its value, so the amount of existence is not much.
There are many ways to play the crown number of the big leaf orchid 1 yuan, there are five silver flowers, ten sisters are more famous
In order for everyone not to be pitted when purchasing, the following summarizes the more famous crown number gameplay and the amount of existence:
At the height of the numismatic market, the big leaf orchid happened to appear, so its positive price had risen all the way, but then it fell back. At present, the price of an ordinary 991 large leaf orchid is not high, do not be deceived by bad coin dealers, dear Tibetan friends. Having said all this, what do you think of this 991 "big leaf orchid"? Is there a new understanding of it?
