This denomination was part of the second series of Renminbi, which China could not print domestically in sufficient volume during the early 1950s — Goznak in Moscow produced several of the second series notes under a Sino-Soviet technical cooperation arrangement. The relationship was close enough that Soviet engravers had direct input on the intaglio work, which is visible in the finished quality.
When Sino-Soviet relations collapsed after 1960, the printing plates and technical files held in Moscow became a politically sensitive matter. China did not publicly acknowledge Goznak's involvement for decades.
