Historical Information

This note belongs to the Foreign Exchange Certificate (FEC) system used in China from 1979–1994.

FEC notes were issued mainly for foreign visitors and tourists, who had to exchange foreign currency for these special notes to spend inside China.

Chinese citizens normally used regular Renminbi, while foreigners used FEC, often in special stores.

Estimated Collector Value (2024–2025 market)

Choice Very Fine (35): about $10 – $25 USD

Higher grades (UNC): $40+ USD

Because your note is graded and encapsulated, it may sell toward the upper end of the range.

✔️ Collector Tip:
Low-denomination FEC notes like 1 Fen are collectible because they were produced in smaller quantities compared to higher values.
