A Chinese "Yi Guan (One Guan)" paper banknote, Ming dynasty of rectangular form, horizontally printed in black with large-sized characters "Great Ming General Ciculation Treasure Note" on the top, the large retangular area with characters "Yi Guan (1 Guan)" in the top middle, seal characters reading as "Great Ming Treasure Note" and "To Circulate Under the Heavens" on both sides, a pictorial representation of 10 strings of coins in the middle, a notice of the legal use of the Treasure Note instead of standard copper as well as the punishment of decapitation of making counterfeit banknotes by the Board of Revenue underneath, all within a stylised dragon pattern borders, with twin red government seal marks, the rear with a further red and a black seal The issue of the paper banknote started from the Eighth year of Hongwu (1375) due to the lack of copper of making copper cash. 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
