On the obverse side, banknotes less or equal to ¥10 feature different ethnicities of China; the ¥50 note features an intellectual, a farmer, and an industrial worker, a typical communist theme; while the ¥100 note features four people important to the founding the People's Republic of China: Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, and Zhu De.

Coins carry the Emblem of the People's Republic of China, the full title of the state in Chinese and pinyin on the obverse side, and the denomination and an image of a flower on the reverse side.
