๐จ๐ณ 5 Yuan CNY
On the front: Miao and Zhuang ethnic minorities; on the back: Wulingyuan scenic area (Zhangjiajie National Forest Park).
Fourth series Renminbi, issued 1987โ1997 with designs approved in 1980, officially withdrawn from circulation May 1, 2018. This series was the first to feature China's ethnic minorities as portrait subjects rather than solely Han Chinese workers or political figures, reflecting the policy of national unity and recognition of China's 56 ethnic groups. The 5 yuan note was among the most widely circulated denominations during China's economic reform period of the 1980sโ1990s. The series was gradually replaced by the Fifth series beginning in 1999, with advanced anti-counterfeiting features.
