This note commemorates the 75th anniversary of the People's Liberation Army Air Force, founded in November 1949. Commemorative military notes of this type sit outside China's mainstream circulating currency program — they are issued through controlled channels, often tied to institutional or collector distribution, and rarely enter general commerce.
The PLA Air Force series follows a pattern China has used since the early 2000s of issuing themed commemorative paper notes alongside its metallic commemorative program, though these occupy an ambiguous regulatory space that makes attribution and cataloging genuinely difficult.
