A rare China 100 Yuan Foreign Exchange Certificate (FEC) Specimen dated 1979, issued by the Bank of China. Foreign Exchange Certificates were created for use by foreign visitors and tourists in China and circulated alongside the Renminbi during a unique period of China's economic history. Specimen notes were produced as official reference examples and were never intended for circulation, making them highly desirable among collectors.

Certified UNC67 PPQ by PMG Grading, this note exhibits exceptional paper quality and outstanding eye appeal. The 100 Yuan denomination is the highest value of the Foreign Exchange Certificate series and is particularly sought after by collectors due to its impressive denomination, historical significance, and limited availability. Specimen examples are considerably scarcer than regular issued notes and are prized for their rarity and distinctive status.

An outstanding and historically important piece of modern Chinese numismatic history, ideal for collectors of Chinese, Asian, specimen, and world paper money.
