| Obverse description | Printed entirely in teal-green on light blue paper, the obverse carries a central vignette of a modern multi-storey building, likely representing a People's Bank of China branch, rendered in fine line engraving. The bank name 中国人民银行 is inscribed across the upper centre, flanked by a stylised floral emblem at upper left, while the large numeral '50' appears within an ornate guilloche medallion at upper right and a secondary scalloped guilloche panel at lower right. The vertical legend 練功券 (Practice Banknote) runs along the left margin, with the denomination '50' repeated at lower left above a band of micro-printed guilloche border work. |

Teller training notes issued by the People's Bank of China are produced to full technical specification — same paper stock, same security thread placement, same printing registration as circulating notes — but are overprinted or marked to prevent legal tender use. The 2020 training series was distributed to banking institutions for staff to practice counting, authentication checks, and cash-handling procedures without exposing genuine currency to accelerated wear.
These are not proofs, not specimens, and not propaganda issues. They occupy an odd category that most Western catalogues ignore entirely, which understates their documentary value to anyone studying PBoC production standards.
