This page covers “Macau Zodiac Commemorative Banknotes: Edition, Prefix and Storage Records”. Authorised note-issuing banks release Macau zodiac notes under official arrangements. Separate the bank, zodiac year, denomination, issue year, prefix and serial number in the inventory. Monetary Authority of Macao announcements support the issuing framework and release information; they do not determine the authenticity or condition of an individual note.

Identity and edition

  • Separate issuers such as Banco Nacional Ultramarino and Bank of China Macau Branch according to the wording printed on the note.
  • Record the zodiac theme, denomination, issue year, prefix and serial number for every note.
  • Use separate fields for folds, stains, tears, staple holes, repairs, waviness in the paper and original sleeve.

Paper condition

With the note lying flat under even light, photograph the front, back, four corners, edges and transmitted-light features. Do not laminate, iron, clean or press it flat yourself. Keep information from a graded holder separate from the condition of the unencapsulated note.

Provenance and comparisons

For “Macau Zodiac Commemorative Banknotes: Edition, Prefix and Storage Records”, retain the purchase or acquisition date, original sealed packaging, certificate, set number and provenance documents. Market comparisons should match the issue and edition, with similar number characteristics and condition, and state the transaction date and fees.

Frequently asked questions

Does the same zodiac animal mean the same edition?

No. The issuing bank, year, denomination, prefix, packaging and edition may all differ.

Can an uncut sheet be valued simply by multiplying the number of individual notes?

No. The uncut-sheet format, cutting status, certificate and original sealed packaging are independent version factors.

Can an official announcement prove the authenticity of the note in hand?

No. It supports the issuing framework and design information; the individual note still requires physical verification.

Primary or authoritative sources

External sources help verify names, frameworks and timelines; they do not establish the authenticity, condition or value of an individual item.
