The People's Liberation Army commemorative note issued in 2023 marks the 96th anniversary of the PLA's founding — the August 1st, 1927 Nanchang Uprising being the reference date the People's Republic has used to anchor military founding mythology since 1949. Commemorative military notes of this type sit outside the standard Renminbi series and are issued through the People's Bank of China specifically for collector distribution, not general circulation.
Paper rather than polymer for a 2023 Chinese commemorative is a deliberate choice — the PRC has used polymer for several recent commemoratives, so the reversion signals either a production or design preference specific to this issue.
