PMG Attributing New Variety of China 1980 5 Yuan Notes

The fluorescence can be observed under UV light on the front of the 1980 5 Yuan note at right. Click images to enlarge.

These fluorescent properties have also been observed on replacement notes, which will be attributed as 886f*.

These varieties will be attributed automatically for no additional fee for eligible notes.

The "Verdant Pines & Crane" pedigree is the only additional notation that will be used with Pick 886f and Pick 886f*. It is used exclusively for submissions from a specific PMG Authorized Dealer.

No additional attributions or special pedigrees will be accepted for this variety.

This new variety follows PMG’s decision to attribute other Chinese fluorescent varieties, including:

• the Pick 885af 1980 2 Yuan variety (and 885af* for replacements). To read more, click here.
