| Obverse description | A city gate vignette is positioned at left against a dark green underprint overlaid with a lilac tint, giving the face a layered, two-tone appearance. Red overprinted serial numbers and two red official seals are applied to the face, contrasting sharply with the cooler ground colours. The denomination and issuing authority are inscribed in Chinese characters distributed across the note, with the regional designation for the Northeastern Nine Provinces appearing as part of the legend. |
