After analyzing the serial number in detail, I realized that the font is a bit off in comparison to PMG graded examples. As there are many modern reproductions of these banknotes I would like to know your thoughts on this one... Also in general what are your methods of distinguishing replicas from the real deal?

dzhuang Valued Member Canada 53 Posts	Posted 10/10/2017 10:29 pm I appreciate the viewpoints thus far. I personally looked at the vignette and the lines close up and they do in fact match the PMG graded examples. Does anyone else have previous experience with banknotes or modern replicas of this series? Report this Post to the Staff

The serial numbers look good (not 'too' perfect, which is always a cause for concern). The printing seems to reflect the light correctly and the ageing and circulation appears normal/natural. I would be amazed if these were fake. There's an overview of Chinese fakes here albeit not dealing specifically with the 1953 examples (Peoples Bank issues are towards the end of the page: http://asiamoney.weebly.com/fakes-3...rgeries.html Report this Post to the Staff

Do your homework. And get (or buy) a decent magnifying glass and examine your note's security features. Often, with older issues, it is just microprinting which will become blurry with the reproductions. And study the signatures, prefixes and get to know the note you're after by using as many references as possible. Here's one example from Banknote Museum. http://www.banknote.ws/COLLECTION/c.../CIN0867.htm There are many sites today, each of which will often provide varying degrees of info on each series. Good luck! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUc8Kx5wCI4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LeYOYtSAoc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq1DlqkPHhE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PsCjxldIao Report this Post to the Staff
