People's Bank of China, 1st Series Renminbi, uniface obverse specimen 5 yuan, 1949, 'Blue Factory', control number 000865, unissued,
(Pick 814As1), PMG 50 About Uncirculated, Repaired, Previously Mounted, Trimmed. The most elusive and enigmatic type among the 1st Series Renminbi. Based on the highest known control number being 000921, there's speculation that the total print run amounted to 1000, with the vast majority being either destroyed or archived by the People's Bank. Extremely rare and highly sought after by advanced collectors.


1949年中國人民銀行第一版人民幣伍圓正面樣票「藍工廠」，控號 000865，未正式發行流通，PMG 50，有修補、黏貼痕跡及修剪。一版人民幣最為神秘的一枚，據考查最高控號是000921，按這預測當時應該印了約1千枚，但大部分有可能已被銷毁，存世屈指可數，進階紙鈔收藏者不容錯過！
