There were six denominations of paper banknote in Ming dynasty, Yi (1) Guan, Wubai (500) Wen, Sibai (400) Wen, Sanbai (300) Wen, Erbai (200) Wen and Yibai (100) Wen. This Yi Guan paper banknote was equivalent to Yiqian (1000) Wen. Paper bank notes or Jiaozi first appeared when China`s economy volume reached new heights due to increased overseas trading and the fact the traditional copper or iron coins could not satisfy the demand of money circulation. However due to the problems with counterfeit money, a crime which was punishable by the death penalty, the Song government found a specialised government department to issue, print and authorise, cash and identify counterfeit banknotes. The department therefore made a particular type of special governmental seal to stamp on every paper money, usually in the centre of a money piece, so that people could easily identify real and counterfeit money. Bogus money usually lacked such stamped seals which were normally red or occasionally black or purple, or if they were stamped were of poor quality. The bona fide government seals were thus used as measures of authenticity on paper bank notes which were in general circulation throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties. 36.4cm high, 22cm wide In good condition commensurate with age and with uneven edges from useView on auctionatrium.com
