10 Yuan

The 2005 series marked the first major redesign of the fifth series renminbi notes since their initial rollout beginning in 1999. For the 10 Yuan specifically, the 2005 revision introduced a more sophisticated security thread with microprinting and revised the color-shifting ink application — changes driven partly by escalating counterfeiting pressure that had plagued the earlier fifth-series issues throughout southern China's manufacturing regions.

Pick 904 is the standard domestic-circulation type. A specimen version exists with the usual "SPECIMEN" overprint and cancelled serial format, issued for central bank reference purposes.
