Where & when
What's on the note
Front: Representatives of the Dong and Yao ethnic minority groups of China. The Dong people are known for their distinctive wooden architecture and polyphonic singing traditions, primarily residing in southeastern Guizhou, western Hunan, and northern Guangxi. The Yao people are one of China's 55 officially recognized ethnic minorities, with a population dispersed across southern China and Southeast Asia. This note is part of the Fourth series of the Renminbi, which featured various ethnic minorities to emphasize China's multi-ethnic national unity.
Back: The Great Wall of China at Badaling, the most visited section of the Great Wall, located approximately 80 kilometers northwest of Beijing. Originally built during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), the Badaling section was restored in 1957 and has become an iconic symbol of Chinese civilization and engineering achievement. The Great Wall was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

Background & history
Fourth series of the Renminbi, issued from 1987 to 2018 and formally demonetized on May 1, 2019. The 1 Yuan note of this series was first issued in 1988, with the 1996 date representing a later printing within the series. This series was notable for featuring portraits of ethnic minorities rather than political leaders, reflecting the People's Republic's policy of promoting national unity among China's diverse ethnic groups. The series was gradually replaced by the Fifth series beginning in 1999, though both circulated concurrently for many years.
