This scarce 1949 Chinese 1 Silver Dollar banknote (P-441) represents a pivotal moment in numismatic history, issued during the final year of the Republic of China before the Communist takeover. The note exhibits authentic wear consistent with period circulation, making it an excellent example for collectors seeking genuine historical artifacts from this transformative era. As a used specimen, it carries the patina of age and handling that serious collectors value for authenticity verification. P-441 notes from this vintage are increasingly difficult to locate in any condition, particularly in circulated grades. An essential addition for those building comprehensive collections of 20th-century Asian currency or studying the numismatic transition between Chinese regimes.
