The 1980 series — known in China as the "fourth set" of Renminbi — was designed and produced entirely domestically, a deliberate break from earlier series that had relied on Soviet technical assistance. The 2 Jiao was one of the lower-denomination notes in a series whose production spanned nearly a decade; although the series was officially released in 1987, individual denominations were issued in stages, and printing of some values began well before public release.
Paper deterioration is a known issue with fourth-set small denominations that saw heavy use in markets and transit systems throughout the 1980s and 1990s. High-grade survivors are correspondingly harder to source than the print run alone would suggest.
