Issued to mark the Year of the Dragon, this note is one of the few commemorative releases from the People's Bank of China to carry a face value of 1000 yuan — an unusual denomination for a commemorative issue in a country where the highest circulating note remains 100 yuan. The gap is deliberate: the 1000 yuan figure is symbolic rather than functional, intended to keep the note outside everyday commerce while still conferring legal tender status.
The name "Long Teng Sheng Shi" translates roughly as "a prosperous age with a soaring dragon." Chinese commemorative banknotes of this type are frequently sold by the central bank through subscription, often at a premium over face value.
